Another Dragon Game for the DS. What's with All the Dragon Games?

A recent official report says that Playlogic Entertainment (video games publisher) has announced its signing of a worldwide 3 year license with a 2 year extension, on all platforms, based on the Dragon Hunters with Futurikon (France) franchise. The piece also informs that a full feature-length animated movie based on the series is scheduled for release early next year.

"We really enjoy starting this ambitious collaboration with Playlogic. The Universe of Dragon Hunters has a high creative value. Moreover the hunting stories, the humour and the variety of the Dragons allow for the creation of great videogames. We are sure that the Playlogic team will reach this goal!" states Philippe Delarue, CEO of Futurikon.

"We are very pleased to have entered into an agreement with Futurikon," comments Stefan Layer, Playlogic's VP of Sales and Marketing. "This cooperation enables Playlogic to exploit the Dragon Hunters universe on various platforms. Playlogic will be able to use material from the Dragon Hunters CGI movie out in cinemas in 2008, as well as from two seasons of the Dragon Hunters TV series."

Of course Playlogic Entertainment couldn't have missed the opportunity of publishing the game's version for Nintendo's record selling dual screened handheld, the DS. Such event will occur in line with the movie's release, scheduled in Q1 of 2008.

"The Dragon Hunters universe is a perfect match for a video game," states Dominique Morel, CTO of Playlogic. This concept is not only graphically very creative and original; Dragon Hunters is also a superb opportunity to create rich new interactive content, with hilariously fun game play. Playlogic and the developers already working with us on this game are totally enthusiastic about its potential. Hunting will never have been more fun!"

Well, if they say so... Isn't it strange though? More and more dragon titles are launching on all platforms these days. Could they be true about kids dreaming of becoming dragons? I guess the above statements answered that question already.
