Project Sylpheed has officially gone gold, and is coming to US retailers in a few weeks.  The team is getting ready by publishing the official site, at www.project-sylpheed.com. 

When we first got our hands on this a few weeks ago (at the road show tour), there were several that took an instant liking to the game.  For fans of Wing Commander (or in my case Starfox), the game was a welcome addition to this genre, since we haven't seen any good space combat games lately. 

From the media alert we sent this morning:

The Xbox 360 exclusive “Project Sylpheed,” published by Microsoft and Square Enix, has gone gold and will start shipping to retailers on Tuesday, July 10. “Project Sylpheed” is rated “T” for Teen and will be available at the estimated retail price of $39.99.

Eager intergalactic aerial pilots will have the opportunity to hone their skills on the “Project Sylpheed” demo, which is available starting today on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. The demo includes an entire mission with an expanded weapons arsenal as players will experience the frenetic space combat available in “Project Sylpheed,” in addition to a full tutorial level and in-game introduction trailer to familiarize them with the challenges ahead in the beautiful and expansive final game.

Gamers who are prepared to engage in epic space combat can get more information at “Project Sylpheed’s” official Web site, which just launched today, at www.project-sylpheed.com. Additionally, the new trailer for “Project Sylpheed” is debuting on the site and Xbox LIVE Marketplace as well.
