Earlier today, Working Designs announced that an 8-hour full demo of the highly anticipated Lunar 2: Eternal Blue will be included with Vanguard Bandits, which is set to ship late this month. Lunar 2: Eternal Blue is currently on track for a late Spring release. Lunar fans will be pleased to learn that, similarly to Lunar: SSSC, Lunar 2's packaging will be far above current industry standards. The Lunar 2 "package" will include 3 game CDs, one soundtrack CD, one "Making of Lunar 2" documentary CD, and several currently unannounced goodies.

Working Designs is also offering free, soon-to-be-announced Lunar merchandise to gamers who participate in a special pre-order promotion. The list of participating retailers, as well as the identity of the promotional items, will be announced shortly. Stay tuned to RPGamer for all the details as Lunar 2's release date approaches.
