Codemasters Announces New Action RPG: Rise Of The Argonauts
Action RPGs are the new craze at Codemasters, a developer that's proved capable of reinventing itself in the past - the company started out in 1985, developing puzzle games for the ZX Spectrum. This June, Codemasters will be releasing the devilishly fun-looking Overlord, and a new press release announces another action RPG in the works for 2008. Rise of the Argonauts looks set to capitalize on the current/recurring Hellenic craze with a fantastic version of ancient Greece replete with "deep exploration and epic quests" where "players will live a life of brutal combat as they lead a team of iconic warriors - including Jason, Hercules and Atalanta - through a world ruled by mythical gods."
It's too soon to tell what the game will look like, but if the little I've seen of Overlord is any indication of the level of quality of which Codemasters are capable of, it's worth keeping an eye on.
Make the jump for full release. I mean, for the full press release. Damn my moonlighting as an erotic masseur...
Codemasters announces Rise of the Argonauts(TM), an epic action-RPG for 2008.
Codemasters added a further property to its 2008 portfolio today with the announcement that Rise of the Argonauts™, an epic scale action-RPG, is now in development at Liquid Entertainment for leading console platforms and PC.
Rise of the Argonauts will immerse gamers in a gladiatorial adventure, set in wondrously imagined vision of ancient Greece. With deep exploration and epic quests, players will live a life of brutal combat as they lead a team of iconic warriors – including Jason, Hercules and Atalanta – through a world ruled by mythological gods.
“Rise of the Argonauts is a further key property in our 2008 portfolio,” says Barry Jafrato, Codemasters Senior VP of Brand. “Codemasters’ investment in developing new I.P.s, which will sit alongside the new extensions of our existing brands, reinforces our ongoing commitment to bring original and thrilling new gaming experiences to market.”

Other stuff like this: codemasters, console, pc, rise of the argonauts
is it my idea or we are going to see a lot of games and movies like this one, you know, after 300 and all that
I believe this game is more inspired by God of War than 300, though.
