Another announcement from Outright Games' OG Unwrapped presentation, Dragons: Legends of the Nine Realms is the latest game in the Dreamworks franchise spawned by the How To Train Your Dragon movies, and it'll arrive on Switch in Autumn 2022.

A Heartful of Games is the developer taming this beast of a single-player action-adventure RPG which will have you take control of Thunder (and a bunch of other dragons) as they do various action-adventure-y things to save the dragon kingdoms and unlock powers as you go.

The game is set before humans arrived on the scene but you'll be taking on big ol' bosses and gradually building up your dragon's strength as you make progress. Here are some more details from the PR blurb, plus some fiery screenshots for your eyeballs:

  • BE A DRAGON – Experience the freedom of flight and the power of Thunder and his friends

  • FLY TO NEW REALMS – Explore the realms in search of Thunder’s family

  • BUILD YOUR CHARACTER – Level up your dragon for speed, strength, or intelligence as your experience grows

  • UNLOCK NEW HEROES – Play as Plowhorn, Wu & Wei, and Feathers, switching between dragons at will.

Obviously, as per the publisher's output, this one is squarely aimed at younger gamers, but the franchise has plenty of fans across the demographic board so this might be worth keeping an eye on if you're after something to play with the kids.
