Infinity Blade: Dungeons Announced

by Matt Miller on Mar 07, 2012 at 09:05 AM

The popular iOS series is getting a prequel set thousands of years before the original game. Check out the first trailer.

Even as Apple enthusiastically unveiled its new iPad, an accompanying announcement from Epic Games revealed the existence of Infinity Blade: Dungeons, coming to the new iPad and other iOS devices. The new game is set "several thousand years prior to the events in the classic Infinity Blade series," the release from Epic details. Gamers will take on the role of an apprentice weapon smith working for the Master of the Forge. The new hero will set out on a quest to forge the very Infinity Blade that will be used centuries later to slay the Deathless.

You can head over to the game's official website to watch the first trailer for the game, which reveals some dramatic changes to the gameplay style that players are familiar with from the first two games. Instead of a one-on-one battle game, this new project looks more like a top down dungeon crawler. How will the game control? Will you level and customize your character? These and other questions will have to wait until Epic is ready to reveal additional details.
