Epic Games and Chair Entertainment Announce "Infinity Blade"

The first iOS release by Epic Games and Chair Entertainment, previously known as "Project Sword", has now been given an official name. "Infinity Blade" will be available this holiday season, though no other details have been released on the game so far other than a few screenshots and some video. The video is part of an Apple TV promo for the iPhone and can be seen

Taking handheld gaming to new heights, the graphically intense “Infinity Blade” features adrenaline-fueled sword battles and epic boss fights set in the realm of a fully 3D castle. The game’s robust single-player mode features an intuitive combat interface and simple touch controls which enable hardcore and casual gamers alike to engage in fun, furious battles. As play progresses, players gain experience, build stats and earn more powerful items to prepare their knight for the final encounter with the game’s nemesis, the God-King.

Additional content will be released free of charge via planned updates, including a fully integrated multiplayer mode, which enables players to find friends and other challengers to battle online via Game Center.

The press release also indicates that Epic Citadel, the free tech demo of the castle area that was released during the Apple press event in early September, has been downloaded over a million times. Considering how impressive it looks, this should come as no surprise.

As usual, full press release in the comments thread.
