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.
Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap will be available on April 18 for the PS4, Xbox One & Nintendo Switch
Check out the Trailer:
Ben Fiquet, art director at developer Lizardcube, revealed Wonder Girl’s inclusion in The Dragon’s Trap in a post on the PlayStation Blog. While Fiquet didn’t go into much detail about the option to play as Wonder Girl, a new trailer for the game shows that she appears functionally the same as Wonder Boy. The developer even made an 8-bit sprite of Wonder Girl for the game’s retro mode, which uses the original game’s pixel art.
