Don’t know why it took so long to get a Voltron video game out, but better late than never. The iconic 1980s galactic hero returns this fall in THQ’s Voltron: Defender Of The Universe video game. Infracells are up, mega thrusters are go and the legendary robot hero is ready to make his resurgence. In this brand-new take on the classic Voltron animated adventure, players will find themselves teaming up to battle the evil forces of King Zarkon across the varied landscapes of Planet Arus. Interwoven with clips from the original animated television series, the new game promises a re-mastered adventure in stunning high-definition.
Voltron fans can finally relive some of the most defining moments from the classic series, or even introduce a new generation of young Space Explorers, as they command any of the individual Lions or even team up to form Voltron and wield his epic blazing sword. Galactic peacekeepers may choose to play either online in seamless 1- to 5-player co-op or offline in 1- or 2-player co-op. Players will select a Lion based on a number of strengths, resistances and elemental attacks that they use to battle fierce Robeasts and a number of other familiar adversaries.
Voltron the video game is scheduled for release in October 2011 on Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network.
