UBISOFT UNVEILS GAME DETAILS FOR LUNAR: DRAGON SONG FOR NINTENDO DS    


The First Original Installment of the Lunar Series in More Than a Decade Set  for September 2005 Release
   


SAN FRANCISCO - July 1, 2005 - Today Ubisoft, one of the world's largest  video game publishers, is delighted to announce Lunar: Dragon Song, a new  video game exclusively for the Nintendo DS system. The game is the first  original installment of the Lunar franchise to be released in more than 10  years.    


Lunar: Dragon Song, also the first traditional fantasy RPG for Nintendo DS,  takes players to 1,000 years before the events that occurred in the first  game of the Lunar series, Lunar: The Silver Star. The world of Lunar is at  peace under the protection of the goddess Althena, creator of Lunar. At the  fringes of this peaceful existence, vicious demons have started to slowly  invade, and there are few with power enough to know how to deal with this  demon invasion. Players experience the world of Lunar as the human boy,  Jian, and his group of friends. Jian's story begins simply but quickly  evolves as he and his friends unravel the evil plot being laid against  Althena and discover that they alone can save Lunar from the forces of evil.
