Rise of the Argonauts |
Now that we got the petty news out of the way, it's time to move on to today's breaking trio of announcements made by Codemasters. Little did we know yesterday, when they revealed
the first Race Driver game for the Nintendo DS, that they still had a few more surprises up their corporate sleeves. We'll start, in no particular order, with a new Action-RPG coming from the makers of Battle Realms, LotR: War of the Ring and the D&D RTS Dragonshard... oh and Desperate Housewives (which doesn't really count). If you haven't guessed it yet, we're talking about Liquid Entertainment.
Their latest project is called Rise of the Argonauts, most obviously being set in ancient Greece, where we'll fight alongside iconic warriors like Jason, Hercules and Atalanta, for an epic scale mythological purpose that has actually yet to be revealed. What little Codemasters had to say about the game can be read below:
"Rise of the Argonauts will immerse gamers in a gladiatorial adventure, set in wondrously imagined vision of ancient Greece. With deep exploration and epic quests, players will live a life of brutal combat as they lead a team of iconic warriors - including Jason, Hercules and Atalanta - through a world ruled by mythological gods."
Barry Jafrato, Codies' Senior VP of Brand, also said that
"Rise of the Argonauts is a further key property in our 2008 portfolio", clearly implying that the game will not see the neon light of retail this year. The Brits also retained from naming the exact platforms on which Rise of the Argonauts will be released, simply stating that they are targeting the PC and "leading console platforms". Feel free to hope for either (or both) of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 - as is the case with other upcoming Codemasters games.
