Square Enix's Drag-on Dragoon 2, the sequel to the abysmal Drakengard, has been released in Japan and is currently blowing away the competition as the #1 title on the charts. 125,000 units were reportedly sold, making it the first hit on the Japanese charts in weeks.¹

According to Square Enix, J-Pop artist Mika Nakashima will be performing the new theme song to their upcoming action RPG Drakengard 2. The song, entitled "Hitori", was composed by Ryouki Matsumoto, who is also the game's acting sound producer. Though coming as no surprise in the wake of other such endeavors, this circumstance is unique in that "Hitori" has actually been made available on Nakashima's third album since the ninth of March, bringing into emphasis the marketing aspect of a such maneuver. But whether or not the candidate deserves the propaganda remains to be seen with the June 16th Japanese release of Drakengard 2.

Square Enix recently replaced their enigmatic filler for Drakengard 2 with an actual website and provided expanded information on the game's plot, characters, and battle system. The results may shock you! Read on

Square Enix's official website for action title Drakengard 2 (known in Japan as Drag-On Dragoon 2) has now "opened" for business, though featuring little more than a teaser trailer and a flashy mouse-over animation.¹
