The intolerable hunger that 360 owners suffer for solid Japanese content on their consoles is to be satiated by the end of the summer, for the highly anticipated RPG,Blue Dragon,has been announced as anAugust 28threlease. We here at Destructoid have beencoveringthe game quite extensively and I for one am most excited that we now have a solid release date for what looks to be everything thatEnchanted Armswasn’t — in other words, good.
Honestly, I can’t wait and nor should you. A solid RPG experience is exactly what the old ‘Shooterbox’ needs right now to help give the machine more variety than just explosions andViva Pinata.Between this andBioshock, 360 gamers should have plenty to do as the summer draws to a close.

[Update: According toThatXbox360blog.com, the release date forBlue Dragonin Europe has been set, and those in the PAL territories (like, I don’t know … ME) will be delighted to learn that we’re getting four days of playtime ahead of our US cousins. That’s right, August 24th is the official European release date for we on the inferior side of the pond. Swanky!]
