That was seemingly enough to earn the official license and Sega's blessing.

(For Voyage Record, we suspect you'll have to come up with your own saddle-like seating arrangement.) The indie developer was clearly inspired by Panzer Dragoon - both game titles use the same typeface, for instance - and won a few awards for its work. It wasn't an official Panzer Dragoon game, though, and used a "content-linked rodeo machine" to mimic the dragon's movements, according to Wildman's website. Voyage Record is being developed by Wildman, a seemingly-small team in Japan that developed a similar VR experience called The Gunner of Dragoon. There's no word on when it will come out, though, beyond "2020," or which platforms will be supported. Unsurprisingly, the game will use a first-person perspective, rather than the classic third-person view, and turn the player's VR controller into a handgun. Panzer Dragoon Voyage Record will be a single-player experience that covers various episodes (the series' term for stages) from the original Saturn trilogy, according to a press release.


Out of nowhere, a relatively unknown game developer has announced a VR version of Panzer Dragoon, a beloved rail shooter franchise that started on the Sega Saturn in the mid-1990s.
