01 — THE PROJECT

About the port

Independent, unofficial project.

The project recompiles the original PlayStation 3 executable and runs translated PPU code and embedded SPU modules on Windows. Work is focused on bringing the original game to full playability and incrementally replacing console services with native implementations.

Current progress

Milestones reported in the project README.

01 / VERIFIED AREA

Native execution

Recompiled PPU code and embedded SPU modules are running in the Windows build.

02 / VERIFIED AREA

Intro, audio and menus

Intro video and audio play; the title screen and main menu have been reached through keyboard input.

03 / VERIFIED AREA

Loading and rendering

New Game advances beyond the previous SPURS failure into a story scene with subtitles. Stable, controllable gameplay remains unverified.

Current status: a complete playable build is not available. Reaching scenes and menus does not yet demonstrate reliable gameplay.
03 — THE PLAN

Trilogy roadmap

One shared long-term plan across the numbered Drakengard games.

No fixed release dates. These are goals, not guarantees; some stages may overlap and individual features depend on technical feasibility.
