“How to Train Your Dragon: Riders of the Skies showcases the unique way riders can get off the couch and move their body together in some fire-breathing fun,” said David Lee, co-founder and CEO of Nex.

Nex and Universal Products & Experiences have launched a motion-controlled How to Train Your Dragon game on the Nex Playground system.

How to Train Your Dragon: Riders of the Skies sees players to take flight in high-speed challenges inspired by the upcoming live-action reimagining of the first film in the series.

“How to Train Your Dragon: Riders of the Skies showcases the unique way riders can get off the couch and move their body together in some fire-breathing fun,” said David Lee, co-founder and CEO of Nex.

“Soon, players can experience the How to Train Your Dragon film in theatres and afterwards come home and jump right back into the universe with Nex Playground. These types of moments are made possible by our continued collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences, who share our vision of family gaming.”

How to Train Your Dragon: Riders of the Skies is the third game released on Nex Playground in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences, following previous releases Gabby’s Dollhouse: A-meow-zing Moves and Kung Fu Panda Train Like A Master.
