Like we said earlier, the developers for this franchise don’t seem to be bothered with showing a bit of spoilers in their trailers for their games. So spoilers abound, watch at your own discretion, you can watch the trailer below. The song in the trailer is called “This Silence Is Mine,” sung by Chihiro Onitsuka for those wondering.

A prequel to the original Drakengard, Drakengard 3 transports players to a medieval world where six sisters wield special magical abilities as the “Intoners.” These sisters have brought peace to the earth with their power to manipulate magic through song. Harmony is disrupted, however, when the eldest sister, Zero, attempts to murder her younger sisters with the help of her dragon companion, Mikhail. As the story progresses, players find themselves in a battle to unravel the mystery of Zero and learn her true intentions.

Drakengard 3 is a PlayStation 3 exclusive title, and will arrive in North America and Europe next year following the Japanese release in December. It will be released in physical form exclusively on their online website and offered digitally on the PlayStation Network for North America, while only being released digitally on PSN for Europe.
