DotEmu, developer and publisher specializing in modern releases of beloved retro games, and Lizardcube, Parisian game developer, are thrilled to announce that an updated version of Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap is currently in development. Thanks to the close collaboration of these two French studios and Ryuichi Nishizawa, creator of the Wonder Boy series, this classic will soon return to consoles and PC.
A Sega Master System and PC Engine legend, Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap (also known as Wonder Boy III) is a platformer that combines exploration, action, and adventure. The new version will remain true to the original episode while adding graphical improvements, enhanced sound, and brand-new features.

Story
A good curse makes a good game (or so they say)! turned into a half-human, half-lizard monstrosity by the Meka-Dragon, a lonesome adventurer is facing the challenge of a lifetime! In search for a cure, our mutated anti-hero will explore the many traps of Monster Land… and defeat many stuff-throwing, curse-wielding dragons. How many more transformations can one hopeful body survive, as it turns into a Lizard, a Mouse, a Piranha, a Lion, and a Hawk… The six different forms of our shape-shifting hero make up the cast of this non-stop action-adventure platformer!
Features
- A huge interconnected world!
- 6 playable forms for our shape-shifting hero, with different abilities!
- Dragons of all kinds! A Zombie Dragon! A Mummy Dragon! A Samurai Dragon!
