Golden Axe Announced for Next-Gen

New installment in the revered hack-n-slash franchise.
by Sam Kennedy, 05/10/2006


Sega announced today the return of Golden Axe, the fan favorite
hack-n-slash adventure game first made popular in arcades in 1989.
Slated to hit PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2007, the Golden Axe next-gen project
comes from Secret Level, a developer Sega recently acquired.

While next to no details have been revealed about the next-gen
incarnation of Golden Axe, a teaser trailer for the game will be shown
at the E3 show tomorrow. So stay tuned for that.

"Golden Axe is one of our most treasured brands and is a complete
re-imagining of the story that will take gamers on an unforgettable
journey," said Scott Steinberg, vice president of marketing at Sega of
America. "The vision we have for the remake of Golden Axe is nothing
short of remarkable and it can only be realized on the PS3 and Xbox
360."

Stay tuned for lots more info on the new Golden Axe once we see the
trailer at E3 tomorrow.

SEGA of America, Inc. and Sega Europe Ltd. today announced the
long-anticipated return of Golden Axe™, a fan favorite since its
original release in 1989. Developed exclusively for the PLAYSTATION 3
computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360 video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft, Golden Axe marks the first project
from the recent acquisition of San Francisco-based studio, Secret
Level.

Golden Axe delivers action-RPG thrills as a small band of Riders embark
on an epic adventure to recruit allies, expose the enemy and prevent
the annihilation of their breed. Delivering an intense and unique
combat experience, players charge into battle on the backs of ferocious
beasts or take their chances with the enemy while on foot. Fighting
skill, wits and even magic are all called into action as players
immerse themselves in the struggle to defeat an evil intent on
enslaving the remains of civilization.

Golden Axe is slated for release in 2007.

.....it would be NICE if Sega included, with the new game, the original
ARCADE Golden Axe, instead of just packing in the Genesis version
AGAIN. Also, for the first time at home, please have
Golden Axe: The Revenge Of Death Adder included as well.............

heh, Sega Ages: Golden Axe, the 3D-remake for PS2, sucked so incredibly
badly, SEGA has, uh, "a lot" to make up for, to repair this
once-awesome franchise.
