In Dragon’s Crown, players take the role of one of six adventurers who must roam labyrinths in search of treasure and the legendary “Dragon’s Crown.”

Your mission is to dive into the dank underworld, uncovering treasure and strengthening your mettle as you unlock the secret behind the ancient dragon threatening the world. Simple, easy-to-learn controls allow anyone to dive into the fray and enjoy the breathtaking sword-and-sorcery action. In addition to long-lasting gameplay, the game also features a vast array of character customization features – with six wildly different classes to play as, raiding the catacombs for epic loot remains fresh and engaging.

Although intrepid adventurers can certainly enjoy Dragon’s Crown on their own, the real excitement begins when four players team up online for a four-player cooperative mission. And don’t expect the portable Dragon’s Crown to be scaled back in any way: The game will offer the same fluid hand-drawn animation, blazing special effects, and haunting soundtrack on both PS3 and the new PS Vita.

During Sony's Tokyo Game Show 2017 press conference/briefing, ATLUS announced that it is bringing Vanillaware's 2D hack and slash/beat 'em up to PS4.

The Dragon’s Crown Pro version will feature 4K graphics, a re-recorded orchestra soundtrack, and cross-play with the Vita/PS3 editions of the game.

Dragon's Crown is currently scheduled for release on PS4 in Japan on January 25, 2018.
