The moment we've all been waiting for has arrived, the culmination of months of nail biting and waiting with bated breath (are you still reading? Click the screens already!) and now what is there to say but... meh? These screens come from Sony Online Entertainment's first foray into the world of PS3, with Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom, SOE is bringing over their popular hack n' slash rpg franchise birthed on the PSP to Sony's silver powerhouse. The screens below might look a bit underwhelming, but it's quite possible, and entirely likely that they're from an early build of the game. The game's feature list reads thus:

  • Next-Gen Visual Experience: Experience next-gen graphics as delivered via textures and graphics designed for high definition 1080p displays.
  • Unique Physics-Based Gameplay: Cell-powered, physics-based game mechanics will allow the heroes of Dark Kingdom to smash, break and fully interact with the game environments and even use enemy NPCs as living, unwilling weapons. Throw enemies against walls and watch them bounce to the environments.
  • Epic Storyline: Immerse yourself in an intriguing storyline, written by Keith Baker, as you seek to end an evil king's reign of oppression he has inflicted upon your fellow citizens – all told through in-game dialog and in-game cinematic sequences.
  • Engaging Combat: Take complete control of every battle by using chained melee attacks, or dozens of spells and special abilities acquired along your journey.
  • In-depth Character progression: Choose from three distinctly different characters and unlock new spells and abilities as you adventure! Collect unique armor, weapons and powerful items that will aid your hero on their perilous journey!
  • Co-op and Internet Modes: Adventure alone or with your friends through online multiplayer modes.

Untold Legends is a _PSP_ franchise. 'Dark Kingdom' was to be a _PSP_ game. The "source" just goes to an error page. I believe that someone may have goofed. Is there any proof that we aren't looking at concept art for an upcoming _PSP_ game?

My query:

Good evening,

ps3.qj.net is reporting ( ps3.qj.net/Untold-Legends-Dark-Kingdom-PS3-Screens/pg/49/aid/10428 ) that Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom (UL:DK) is being released for the PS3.
They cite you as the source but their link to you ( http://www.gamerevolution.com/screen/ps3/untold_legends_dark_kingdom ) is no longer valid.
Was there an error made where the information was posted? I am asking this considering that Untold Legends is a PSP franchise and Dark Kingdom was expected to be a PSP game .
What is your source for this information (if you can provide it)?.

Thanks for your time,

Dustin

Their response:

Hi Dustin,

Correct, the page has been temporarily removed pending more information from SOE. We'll be reposting as soon as possible.

Cheers,
Ben Silverman

Dark Kingdom was never mentioned as a PSP title, it has been (the sequel) untold legends: warriors code since it was anounced how many months ago for the PSP.

Not only that, but Dark Kingdom was only RECENTLY mentioned (a week ago, if that?) and not only that, it was CONFIRMED to be a PS3 title. It was revealed on 1UP.com (and many other sites) in their last video blog, that in the new OPM Sony unveils the new untold legends for PS3.

So there you go, Dark Kingdom is in fact a PS3 title and the PSP sequel to the brotherhood of the blade is called, warriors code.

Gamer Reports (who also reported on Game Revolutions "scoop") had to remove the images. Their note:

"Update: Images removed at the request of Sony until the game is offically "announced on the 15th" of March. Maybe this means that rumored PS3 event on the 15th is indeed going to happen!"

BadAndy: Do you have a link where Untold Legends was confirmed for PS3? Google is only giving me references to the PSP.

If this is what a 1080p game will look like, I'll take 720p anyday of the week.

 » BadAndy is right

Give the man a cookie, Dark Kingdom was never in fact announced as a PSP game, it was first mentioned last week on the 1UP show, reportedly as part of OPM's PS3 coverage for the month.
