Mistwalker's Xbox 360 RPG Blue Dragon recently scored an impressive 37/40 in Japanese gaming mag Famitsu, so a) presumably the game's a corker and b) the title could well be the one that helps Microsoft finally crack the Japanese market. It hits over the pond this month, so let's wait and see what happens. Meanwhile, new screenshots have been released.

Blue Dragon boasts involvement of original Final Fantasy developer Hironobu Sakaguchi and characters designed by acclaimed Dragon Ball Z artist Akira Origami, and tells the tale of a young lad called Shu and his pals. They're using their magical powers to battle the evil Nene and work their way through numerous ancient ruins to help save the planet.

Microsoft has informed CVG that Blue Dragon is down on the Western release schedule, but there's no launch date as yet. However, we'd expect it to hit around spring/summer next year.
