Fans of Mistwalker's much-anticipated Xbox 360 RPG, Blue Dragon, may get to download a demo of the title July 20, more than a month before the game's release.

According to TotalVideoGames.com, the latest issue of Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu contains news of an "international demo" arriving later this month. The demo has been rumored to include up to 2 hours of play time, and would most likely contain English voiceovers. Earlier this year, Microsoft revealed that the North American release of Blue Dragon would feature both English and Japanese voice tracks.

Last week, the company announced that Blue Dragon will be included in its Bringing It Home initiative for delivering content, such as trailers and demos, to Xbox Live users during E3. At the time, Microsoft did not specify if Blue Dragon would receive a playable demo.

When contacted for confirmation today, a Microsoft representative told Shacknews that the company "does not comment on rumors or speculation."

Blue Dragon is scheduled to hit retail August 28 in North America, with the European version arriving earlier that week on August 24.
