Epic Unveils First Unreal Engine 3 Game On iPhone
Chair Entertainment, known for XBLA hit Shadow Complex, is handling dev duties for Infinity Blade, a medievel action/RPG published by Epic Games. Apple heads will remember when this was first announced at September's Apple press conference with the tentative title, Project Sword. Now we have the real name and a release window!
If you've downloaded the free Epic Citadel on iPhone, you already know how awesome Unreal Engine 3 looks on iOS. Now you'll be able to play an actual game this holiday season on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
Infinity Blade is focused on sword fights and seems to be set entirely in a castle. Players will level up and earn special items along the way, eventually taking on the villainous God-King.
Game Center support has been confirmed and eventual multiplayer support will allow friends to battle each other.
No pricing or exact date has been revealed, but Epic did promise free expanded content via downloadable updates.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
