PAX is upon us and the announcements are pouring out of ever hole. Today Ubisoft announces Outland for PSN and XBLA. The game is a very stylish looking platformer and described as “An epic action-adventure game of light and darkness” in Ubi’s press release.
The title is inspired by the Prince of Persia series and developed by Housemarque, the creators of Super Stardust HD. Outland is due for release early 2011.
Outland puts 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 classic Ikaruga.
Immersed in a beautiful world doomed by chaos, players will test their swordplay by running, jumping and climbing to dodge the deadly traps of a world on the brink of collapse. Outland will feature unique high-definition graphics and an immersive soundtrack composed by Ari Pulkkinen, acknowledged for his work on the award-winning Trine project.
The title will be on display at PAX this weekend.
