Vanillaware: Dragon’s Crown not canned

dragon's crown

Vanillaware has confirmed it hasn’t canned PS3 and Vita RPG Dragon’s Crown, despite fears it was following pre-order cancelation notices sent out from Amazon last night. Illustrator Shigatake said in a tweet: “I personally can’t say much, but I’ll just say, ‘Regarding Dragons Crown, although there are lots of rumors and conjecture, it’s still in development. Please wait patiently for an official update.”

Thanks, Andriasang.

Amazon sends out pre-order cancellation notices for Vanillaware RPG Dragon’s Crown

dragons crown

NeoGAF users are reporting Amazon has cancelled pre-orders for Vanillaware’s PS Vita-PS3 crossover, action-RPG Dragon’s Crown, which is to be published by Ignition. We had a look over on Amazon, and sure enough, the game is no longer listed as far as we can tell – however, GAF notes it’s a bit hard to find on the site. The game is still listed for sale on Amazon Canada, so hopefully it’s just some sort of burp in the US system. It’s possible, as things like this have happened before, most recently with GameStop’s Last Guardian gaff. We’ll send a mail just in case.
