'Infinity Blade 2' announced for iOS

Infinity Blade 2 has been announced by Epic Games and ChAIR Entertainment.

The action-adventure sequel will be available as an iOS exclusive in December.

Epic showcased the game at Apple's 'Let's Talk iPhone' media event this evening, demonstrating how the Unreal 3 engine title will harness the processing power of the newly unveiled iPhone 4S.

Infinity Blade 2 will include new online modes such as 'Clash Mob', in which players will challenge each other for rare in-game items.

"Infinity Blade allowed us to demonstrate the true potential of triple-A handheld gaming by delivering mind-blowing graphics and awesome gameplay to millions of mobile users," said Donald Mustard, creative director at ChAIR.

"With Infinity Blade 2, we're pushing the boundaries of everything achieved to date and adding a ton of new content and unique new features to create the must-have gaming experience on iOS."

ChAIR has launched an e-book titled Infinity Blade: Awakening, written by fantasy author Brandon Sanderson, to coincide with the announcement.

Infinity Blade 2 will be available to download from December 1. A price is yet to be confirmed.
