SEGA Announces Golden Axe For Next-Generation Consoles
The legend returns as a new adventure, re-imagined for the next-generation.

SEGA of America and Sega Europe today announced the long-anticipated return of Golden Axe, a fan favourite since its original release in 1989. Developed exclusively for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, Golden Axe marks the first project from the recent acquisition of San Francisco-based studio Secret Level.

Golden Axe delivers action-RPG thrills as a small band of Riders embark on an epic adventure to recruit allies, expose the enemy and prevent the annihilation of their breed. Delivering an intense and unique combat experience, players charge into battle on the backs of ferocious beasts or take their chances with the enemy while on foot. Fighting skill, wits and even magic are all called into action as players immerse themselves in the struggle to defeat an evil intent on enslaving the remains of civilization.

"Golden Axe is one of our most treasured brands and is a complete re-imagining of the story that will take gamers on an unforgettable journey," said Scott A Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing, SEGA of America. "The vision we have for the remake of Golden Axe is nothing short of remarkable and it can only be realized on the PlayStation 3 system and Xbox 360."

Golden Axe is slated for release in 2007.

The original was boring and pointless but was a classic. This'll be the same, without the "classic" bit. RPG 4tl

Did they ever remake Altered Ego? Someone should do that, it would kick arse.

y was it boring and pointless (to u)?

[MO75]

It wasn't exactly an RPG was it? More of a sidescrolling combat game, I'd say a lot like the LOTR Two Towers game.

I didn't really like the sidescrolling thing much and it was quite boring to play: Walk along, kill some stuff, walk some more, kill a lot of stuff, pick up axe, walk along, kill loads more stuff, just a bit repetitive. I know it was the megadrive so couldn't really do much else but it just wasn't my sup of tea. I also played Streets of Rage until my thumbs bled so I was all side-scrolling combated out

You could roll as well Lunt, don't forget that.

And knock people off their dinosaurs or emus or whatever they were. They also had an attack thing didn't they? Bit like Super Mario in that respect, really.
