Behind-the-scenes of the PS3 exclusive Lair, release date on September 4th 2007

Dragon fans will be glad to know Lair has an American release date set on August 14th, 2007. In Europe the game will launch on September 26th. [Update: US date is delayed to September 4th, 2007] But first in July, PS3 owners worldwide will get to download a demo off the PlayStation Network.

Lair takes place in a world ravaged by endless conflict and natural disaster, a call for peace turns into a bloodbath of betrayal and deceit. You play as a warrior riding a voracious dragon trained for deadly aerial and ground combat, and capable of scorching, clawing and smashing thousands of enemies, and so you must defeat countless armies to save a civilization. Together, you and the dragon will attempt to change the destiny of a world on the brink of extinction.
