Drakengard 3 will launch in North America in 2014, Square Enix announced in a recent PlayStation Blog. The PS3 game is developed by Access Games, a team composed of developers from the original Drakengard and Nier.

As a prequel to original game, Drakengard 3 has players switching between aerial and ground-based combat throughout the fast-paced adventure. The game's story features two sister goddesses that can create magic through song, one of which fights alongside a dragon. Drakengard 3's Japanese release, known as Drag-on Dragoon 3, was delayed to December 19 as of late August.
