Il primo mese dell’anno sembra rappresentare un tempo di grandi annunci, spesso le notizie più succulente vengono riservate al periodo prenatalizio (con annesse uscite di fine anno), eppure le cose stanno lentamente cambiando: e il 2009 non poteva iniziare meglio di così, infatti tramite un comunicato stampa Square Enix ha annunciato l’arrivo per il 20 Febbraio di Dragon Quest: The Hand of the Heavenly Bride, l’ennesimo prodotto della fortunata saga nipponica ad essere sviluppato esclusivamente su Nintendo DS.
Dati alla mano il gioco è il secondo capitolo della trilogia Zenithia, che segue il già apprezzato Dragon Quest: The Chapters of the Chosen.

Molti utenti affezionati alla storica saga Enix auspicavano da tempo ad un ritorno in grande stile per il V capitolo, a quanto pare sono stati accontentati… e per di più finalmente questo gioco giungerà nei negozi italiani in una data non troppo lontana.

Dragon quest è una di quelle serie che non necessitano di presentazioni, una delle poche ad incarnare lo stile old-school dei giochi di ruolo giapponesi, aspetto che spesso ha fatto storcere qualche naso, di contro lo stile e il carisma dei personaggi hanno sempre fatto da sfondo ad un gameplay collaudato e forse nostalgico condito da trame appassionanti.

In preda alla gioia di questo annuncio, vi lasciamo alla lettura del comunicato stampa!

“London (8th January 2009) – Square Enix Ltd., the publisher of Square Enix® interactive entertainment products in Europe and other PAL territories, today announces that DRAGON QUEST®: The Hand of the Heavenly Bride™ will be released across PAL territories on 20th February 2009, exclusively on the Nintendo DS™ handheld system.

Considered to be one of the best games in the entire DRAGON QUEST series; DRAGON QUEST: The Hand of the Heavenly Bride will finally make its much awaited debut in Europe. Look out for the next adventure in the trilogy – DRAGON QUEST: Realms of Reverie™ – coming to Nintendo DS soon.
