Press release:
Paris, France – March 23, 2017 – DotEmu, developer and publisher specializing in modern releases of beloved retro games, and Lizardcube, are thrilled to unveil today a brand-new character for Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap.

Over the past few months we’ve showcased the various half-animal, playable characters, along with the popular Retro Feature and now it’s time to reveal the Human hero. Along with Wonder Boy in his classic form, you can now play as the totally awesome, totally radical Wonder Girl! Bringing the game to a new, larger audience necessitated sprinkling the classic with many improvements – one of which is a female character who is just as strong, just as fierce as the titular male hero.

Discover the Wonder Girl Trailer on YouTube and learn more on the new Dev blog post. Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap will be available on April 18 for the PS4, Xbox One & Nintendo Switch.
