The first clear batch of screenshots showing Square Enix's upcoming action RPG Drakengard 3 has been released. These screens show protagonist Zero slicing through a group of enemies and covered in blood. We also get a better look at her gigantic dragon ally, which Zero can mount. I'm not sure if the sword fighting or the dragon riding looks more cool, but either way this game is looking pretty awesome.

Drakengard 3 will be available for the PS3 in Japan later this year. View the new screenshots below.
