The intolerable hunger that 360 owners suffer for solid Japanese content on their consoles is to be satiated by the end of the summer, for the highly anticipated RPG, Blue Dragon, has been announced as an August 28th release. We here at Destructoid have been covering the game quite extensively and I for one am most excited that we now have a solid release date for what looks to be everything that Enchanted Arms wasn’t — in other words, good.
Honestly, I can’t wait and nor should you. A solid RPG experience is exactly what the old ‘Shooterbox’ needs right now to help give the machine more variety than just explosions and Viva Pinata. Between this and Bioshock, 360 gamers should have plenty to do as the summer draws to a close.
[Update: According to ThatXbox360blog.com, the release date for Blue Dragon in Europe has been set, and those in the PAL territories (like, I don’t know … ME) will be delighted to learn that we’re getting four days of playtime ahead of our US cousins. That’s right, August 24th is the official European release date for we on the inferior side of the pond. Swanky!]
