News: Namco Bandai forms another alliance with Game Republic.
In addition to Clash of the Titans, Namco Bandai is also teaming up with Game Republic to bring Majin: The Fallen Realm to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2010.
Majin will be a co-op action game where the second player (a monster named Majin) will only be controlled by the computer:
With a compelling original story based on the theme of battle against darkness that revolves around the lost kingdom, Majin creates a new fusion of stealth and action adventure as the player takes the role of the game's hero to fight alongside the AI-controlled monster Majin and overcome the obstacles and adversaries in their path. They pursue their individual objectives while fighting against darkness which brings them strong friendship, and the secrets around the lost kingdom and Majin unfold as the story continues.
The unique AI makes the player's partner Majin: The Fallen Realm autonomous and creates perfectly refined stress-free gameplay. It also invites players to confront the major obstacles, spilt the roles and overcome increasingly complex conundrums and fierce foes. Over thirty hours of gameplay will take the player seamlessly through the vast, open world of Majin and its many rich character interactions, with the constantly evolving gameplay and absorbing storyline designed to keep the experience gripping throughout.
"Majin: The Fallen Realm is an extremely important title for us, and one we believe will pioneer a new genre of advanced artificially intelligent cooperative gameplay," said Daisuke Uchiyama, the chief producer at Namco Bandai Games Inc. "We're very proud to be working with the legendary Yoshiki Okamoto and the extremely talented team at Game Republic, and we're equally pleased to have Majin: The Fallen Realm on our side in a fight."
We'll have more soon.
