Infinity Blade Dungeons

Valentine’s Day is expensive, so why not sit yourself down, relax, and save $5.99 on an awesome iOS game?

Just a week after closing Impossible Studios and putting the next Infinity Blade title on hold, Epic studios has unveiled a great offer for iOS users; until February 21st, Infinity Blade is completely free!

Sure, it won’t make last week’s news up to fans or the folks that lost their jobs, but it’s certainly a nice gesture, and one worth mentioning; Infinity Blade is gorgeous, simple, and addicting as hell.

If you have an iOS device and still haven’t checked out Infinity Blade, you now have no excuse! Download it here!

Infinity Blade fan? What did you think of last week’s announcement?

Love is in the App Store and today there are even more reasons to love Infinity Blade…

Apple has selected the original must-have iOS blockbuster as its “App of the Week!”

Beginning today and running through Feb. 21, ChAIR’s award-winning, sword-fighting adventure will be offered as a FREE DOWNLOAD (regularly priced $5.99) via the App Store.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Apple and to have Infinity Blade selected as ‘App of the Week,’ ” said Donald Mustard, creative director for ChAIR Entertainment. “Infinity Blade remains one of the most popular games in the App Store and this is a great opportunity to invite new gamers into the Infinity Blade universe.”

Once they’ve downloaded the game, players can also show their sensitive side by equipping the Valentine’s Day Holiday Helm which is available now (see attached image).

Infinity Blade is compatible with iPad 1, iPad 2, the New iPad, iPad Mini, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod Touch 5th, 4th and 3rd Gen (16GB+).

As far as touchscreen friendly mobile games go, the Infinity Blade series is one of the best. The gorgeous graphics coupled with the smooth controls and simple, addicting gameplay means that once you’re in, you’re almost stuck playing until your battery runs dry.

At the third generation iPad unveiling in March 2012, Epic revealed Infinity Blade: Dungeons. This new title took the tried and true gameplay and style of the previous two games, and turned it on its head. Rather than being on rails, you would have the ability to roam wherever you wanted, and rather than adventuring alone, you could bring up to three friends with you.

Looks awesome, right? Well, it appears as though it was too good to be true. During the development of the game, a group of Epic employees formed Impossible Studios; the team largely consisted of ex-employees of Big Huge Games (which closed in May 2012). Just six months after the studio became official, Epic has closed its doors and put its game on hold.

Here is the statement from Epic founder Tim Sweeny:

We’re closing Impossible Studios.
When former members of Big Huge Games approached Epic last year, we saw the opportunity to help a great group of people while putting them to work on a project that needed a team. It was a bold initiative and the Impossible folks made a gallant effort, but ultimately it wasn’t working out for Epic.

In addition to providing Impossible Studios employees with 3 months of severance pay, we’ll be giving the team the opportunity to form a new company with the Impossible Studios name and the awesome Impossibear logo.

This means that Infinity Blade: Dungeons is now on hold as we figure out the future of the project.

-Tim Sweeney, Founder, Epic Games
It’s a sad day, both for Impossible Studios employees, and Infinity Blade fans. We wish them all the best in their future endeavours.

Are you an Infinity Blade player? How much were you looking forward to the game?
