Follow on Twitter @kronkblats Demo to Spiritual Sequel of Panzer Dragoon Briefly Appears on Japanese X-Box LiveWednesday, January 2nd, 2013Yukio Futatsugi’s spiritual sequel to SEGA Saturn classic Panzer Dragoon (known as Crimson Dragon) briefly had a demo made available on the Japanese X-Box Live Marketplace before it was quickly taken down by Microsoft. The game is not going to be published by SEGA but SEGA fans may want to keep an eye on Crimson Dragon due to its’ connection to Panzer Dragoon. The appearance (and disappearance) of the demo means that the game must be nearing completion. Crimson Dragon is a Kinect-only X-Box 360 game and will presumably launch this year.
