UBISOFT'S LUNAR: DRAGON SONG FOR NINTENDO DS SHIPS TO RETAILERS

SAN FRANCISCO September 27, 2005 Today, Ubisoft announced that Lunar: Dragon Song for Nintendo DS is releasing and will be available at North American retailers this week.

Lunar: Dragon Song is the first original game from the Lunar franchise in over a decade and the first traditional fantasy RPG for the Nintendo DS, says Tony Kee, vice president of marketing at Ubisoft. These are two incredible milestones, and Ubisoft is excited to bring the highly anticipated and latest installment of the much-loved series to the Lunar fans.

Lunar: Dragon Song 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.
