Vanillaware’s beautifully hand drawn beat’em up, Dragon’s Crown, was originally stated for a Spring release, and then nothing else was heard about the development.
When something like this happens, it’s only natural to assume the worst, and with Amazon cancelling pre-order for the game, cancellation rumors started to occur.
However Illustrator Shigatake responded to the rumors on Twitter, letting us know that we can still expect our ogre-destroying action. “I personally can’t say much,” Shigatake said (as translated by Andriasang), “but I’ll just say, ‘Regarding Dragon’s Crown, although there are lots of rumors and conjecture, it’s still in development. Please wait patiently for an official update.'”
We are also awaiting information, from publisher Ignition on the issue.
