Drakengard 3, originally released in Japan as Drag-On Dragoon 3 (Japanese: ドラッグ オン ドラグーン3, commonly abbreviated as DOD3), is an action role-playing game developed by Access Games and published by Square Enix exclusively for the PlayStation 3. The game was released in December 2013 in Japan and in May 2014 in North America and Europe. It is the third game in the Drakengard series, and a prequel to the original game. The game, like the rest of the series, features a mixture of ground-based hack-and-slash combat and aerial battles. The story focuses on Zero, a mysterious woman who partners with a dragon named Mikhail to kill her five sisters, who rule the world's regions. As she travels, the player discovers the true reason behind Zero's rampage.
