Just a couple of weeks back, Codemasters said that Rise of the Argonauts (Xbox 360, PS3, PC) will be delayed to December. Unfortunately, that date apparently applies only to the US and other EU markets, but not the UK. How long must the Brits wait it out?

Codemasters has sent out word announcing that their upcoming multi-platform action RPG, Rise of the Argonauts (Xbox 360, PS3, PC), has been pushed out of its November release schedule. Now it has to go head to head with a few heavy-hitters slated for release before Christmas.

Codemasters has released screenshots of several of their upcoming games over at the Leipzig Games Convention, including Operation Flashpoint 2, Overlord: Dark Legend, Overlord: Minions, and Rise of the Argonauts. Check them out in the full article.

In Greek Mythology, when Jason sailed in the Argo to retrieve the Golden Fleece, only one female was among his warriors: Atalanta, the huntress. Atalanta also appears in Codemasters' rendition of the classic story in Rise of the Argonauts. Atalanta waits for you in the full article.

Are you worried that there's been little word about Rise of the Argonauts (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC) as of late? Never fear, says veteran game makers Codemasters. The British devs are giving us their assurance that all is well with the project and a release period was even dropped. Full details in the full article up next.

 

Developer Liquid Entertainment is still on the early stages of its project Rise of the Argonauts (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC) under the Codemasters publishing banner, but IGN was able to grab hold of some early screens of the game and they're lookin' good.

Rise of the Argonauts, as you may guess, chronicles the adventures of Greek mythological figure Jason and his courageous comrades aboard the ship Argus. They journey to strange lands in search of the Golden Fleece where they encounter monsters and tyrants. Your task is to keep our hero alive so he can look good to kiss some mamas at the ending.

A release date hasn't been drawn up for this PC RPG yet, but chances are it'll hit sometime next year. It was shown in this year's E3 in Santa Monica but the PR trumpets have since remained pretty quiet. We'll update you when new word is out.

With exceptional visuals, brutal one-hit kill moves, and the rich world of Greek mythology to draw from, Codemasters' Rise of the Argonauts for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC is looking to be one of the best-looking (and best-playing) games coming out this year.

Today's update about this ambitious IP is an interview during E3 about the game's Dynamic Combat System which pretty much lets you customize King Jason as you see fit. In this video, we learn about how the game streamlines the RPG experience into something easier, faster and more gratifying.

For instance, levelling up Jason's different areas of expertise is as easy as dedicating your heroic exploits (rescuing people, killing monsters, that sort of malarkey) to the relevant god. We also get to find out that combat in Rise of the Argonauts will be quite the visceral experience. Rather than having your opponents take a set number of hits before finally going down, it's more of a single-hit kill affair.
