Drakengard 3 (known as Drag-On Dragoon 3 in Japan) is an action-based role-playing game being developed by Access Games and to be published by Square Enix only for Playstation 3. The game will be released this December in Japan, and at an unspecified date in 2014 in North America. Drakengard 3 is the third game in the Drakengard series and serves as a prequel to the original game.
In the Dark Ages, the land was chaotic due to conflict among the warlords. At the peak of the bloodshed, five angelic mistresses known as "Intoners" descended from the heavens, possessing the unique ability to manipulate magic through sacred melodies, and conquered the warlords to put an end to the conflict. They were praised by the people and became rulers of the different regions of the area. The strongest of the Intoners, One, wishes to unite the five sisters once again to bring everlasting peace to their land; however, a dark and powerful outcasted sixth Intoner, named Zero, emerges determined to destroy the other five Intoners.

Gameplay
Drakengard 3 centralizes the two sisters, Zero and One, who are both able to manipulate magic through song. The game utilizes the same sword slashing combat characteristic of the Drakengard series, but with a new twist. New features have been added to the game, such as the ability to ride and control a dragon, as well as being able to battle on the ground with your dragon as a supporting character.
Weapons
Weapons are a big part of Drakengard 3, as Zero is able to use four different types while in combat. Not only can she switch between all four while fighting, she can actually switch while in the middle of a combo, enabling longer and more devastating combos. Of course, each type of weapon has its own strengths and weaknesses, meaning not all of them will be viable in every situation.
