Sega of America began streaming a full trailer on Thursday for its upcoming American release of its 7th Dragon III Code: VFD Nintendo 3DS game.

The game will be available both physically and digitally on July 12, and first copies of the game will include a bonus art book. This will be the first game in the 7th Dragon series to be released outside of Japan. A demo for the game is available now, and all of the game's DLC will be free for the first week after its launch.

Sega also outlined the game's DLC quests. The company will release the "Seed Outbreak" and "Gold Rabi Outbreak" DLC quests on July 12, the "Code: Student" and "Code: Otaku" quests on July 19, and the "Code: Lucier," "To My Beloved Unit 13," and "Allie's Death March" quests on July 26. Some of the quests require game progression to access, and the "To My Beloved Unit 13" quest requires game completion to access. Each DLC quest normally costs either US$1.49 or US$1.99. Sega is also releasing a permanently free DLC where players can get a talking Nagamimi bunny doll for their in-game apartment.

Sega describes the dungeon crawler RPG's story:

In 7th Dragon III Code: VFD, the world is engulfed in a time of darkness and great peril. In the year 2100, dragons have descended upon earth and humanity is at the mercy of these terrifying beasts. However, not all is lost. As the protagonist, the player will team up with Nodens Enterprises—a video game company dedicated to stopping the dragon menace—to become a dragon hunter and eventual savior of the universe. Although times are bleak, Nodens Enterprises has found a way to tip the scales in favor of mankind: By traveling through time to three different eras, the protagonist can upset the balance of the dragons' power. This will give them the edge to defeat the True Dragons, and stand a chance against the most powerful one of them all… the 7th Dragon: VFD.

Sega released the first 7th Dragon video game on Nintendo DS in Japan in 2009, and released 7th Dragon III Code: VFD this past October. According to Sega, no prior knowledge of the series is needed to understand the story.
