For Nintendo 3DS
7th Dragon III Code: VFDis coming to the Americas this summer, Sega has announced.
Despite being the fourth entry in the7th Dragonseries,Code: VFDwill be the first to release in the West, as the 2009 Nintendo DS original and PSP spin-offs never left Japan.
Considering this one’s bonkers premise, that sounds like a shame — we might have been missing out on something!Code: VFDinvolves saving the world (in 2100) from dragons by time-travelling to Atlantis, the futuristic capital of Eden, and modern-day Tokyo. And as if that weren’t bizarre enough, the role-playing game involves rescuing stray cats from dungeons and sheltering them in a cat café.
Code: VFDwas the best-selling console game the week it launched in Japan last October.
Previous entries in the franchise were developed by Imageepoch, the now-defunct studio behindTime & Eternity,Stella Glow, andFate/Extrathatdeclared bankruptcyand shuttered last spring.
Sega of America plans to releaseCode: VFDboth at retail and via the Nintendo 3DS eShop. No plans to distribute the title in Europe or Oceania have been disclosed at this time.
