Universal Games and Digital Platforms, Outright Games and aheartfulofgames have revealed that DreamWorks Dragons: Legends of the Nine Realms is coming to Nintendo Switch.
You will have the chance to unleash your inner dragon and fly beyond the Hidden World on a fiery adventure to rescue Thunder’s family and, ultimately, save the dragon kingdoms.
Feeling the wind against your scales as you soar and dive through unexplored realms, you must use your speed, tail and claws to defeat the enemies and gigantic dragon bosses that stand in your way.
You will also be able to level up Thunder and his friends, unlocking access to new skills and powers that you will need to restore peace to the interconnected realms of ice, fire, darkness and beyond.
