Panzer Dragoon Orta release

Sega of Japan has updated its official site with word that the Japanese version of Panzer Dragoon Orta for the Xbox has been scheduled for release on December 19. This date comes as somewhat of a surprise, as the North American release date was 2880318pushed back from November to January 2003 so the development team could add additional features.

Panzer Dragoon Orta is the fourth game in the Panzer Dragoon series, which started on the Sega Saturn. The game will feature branching paths within its levels and give players the ability to morph a dragon to accommodate specific battle situations. We'll have more on the game as its release nears.
