As the Xbox Games Showcase (and many others, including Sony’s rumored PlayStation Showcase) approaches, more reports are emerging of potential titles that could appear. Perhaps the most unexpected, however, is Blue Dragon.
In a new feature about potential announcements at the showcase, Jez Corden of Windows Central said he’s heard of “nostalgic announcements that should chase away the blues for classic Xbox 360 RPG fans.” The fact that Blue Dragon is only available on Xbox 360 since launching in 2007 is a given, but the word “blues” really gives it away. Then again, “announcements” plural could mean other titles in addition (Lost Odyssey as well, perhaps?). As always, we’ll need to for official confirmation.
Developed by Mistwalker and Artoon, the 2007 role-playing game is the first from Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi after leaving Square Enix. It received generally positive reviews back in the day but never received any ports, remasters or remakes. Perhaps the announcement is a re-release for modern platforms. Time will tell, so stay tuned for the showcase on June 9th.
