Dragon's Crown Pro Hacks and Slashes Its Way West in May

Dungeon deal

by Robert Ramsey Thu 8th Feb 2018

Dragon's Crown Pro actually launches today (8th February) in Japan, but we don't have time to be green with envy as the remastered title has also been given a confirmed Western release date. Blurted out on Twitter by the official PlayStation account, the superb action role-playing game will arrive on the 15th May.

For the most part, Pro is a straight port of the PlayStation 3 and Vita original, but it's obviously bolstered by enhanced visuals. Its soundtrack has also been completely rerecorded with a live orchestra, which is pretty exciting since it was already top notch. What's more, the release will feature cross-play and cross-save functionality, uniting all three versions of the game.

He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

I can't wait! I never played the original but I already pre-ordered this one back in December. Apparently if you pre-order it, you get a steelbook as well, just like Persona 5. It's only 50 bucks too.

I must say I didn't really enjoy this the first time around.

@ShogunRok What? I never said I didn't like it. That's fake news. I said I love it.

This will be a day one buy. Played it a lot on the Vita. Hope we see Muramasa make its way to PS4 in some form also. Either a sequel or a remaster of Rebirth.

Got this when it was on plus but never got around to playing it. Probably won't get it at launch but this seems like s perfect summer time game when not much else is coming out.

Already played A LOT of this incredible game on VITA - the graphics were amazing on that screen. I won't buy it again, but I may play my VITA version again, especially with the cross play announced, wich means new players to crush orcs with.

It was pretty good on Vita, but not transcendent or anything. Beautiful graphically, colorful. and it has a lot of artistic flair. But overall a middling game so I’ll skip the repeat.
