Trying to create noise from the deafening silence following the announcement ofBloody Good Time, Ubisoft has revealedOutland, an upcoming platformer adventure inspired by games likePrince of Persia… andIkaruga.
Here’s the official line on this one: “Outlandputs players in the middle of a world of balance and chaos where their efforts allow them to bridge the ancient divide, or doom the world to destruction. Each player’s adventure will take them between light and darkness and force them to adapt to an ever-changing world. This light versus dark core gameplay is inspired by the arcade classicIkaruga.”
So it’s a platformer, but it’s likeIkaruga. I think that’s qualifies as “awesome,” and it looks wonderful, too. The title is being developed bySuper Stardust HDstudio, Housemarque, and will be available for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network in early 2011.
If you’re in Seattle for PAX, you can stop by Ubisoft’s booth and check it out.
