The first product to emerge from Sega's acquisition of Secret Level will be an action RPG remake of Golden Axe.
One of our favourite arcade machines from the late-'80s, the next-gen update is set to follow along similar lines as a motley crue of 'Riders' cut, hack and slay their way through animosity, either on foot or on the backs of scary-looking beasts.
The experience is also likely to be plumped up with added RPG bits, beautiful 3D visuals, the ability to recruit allies and a "unique combat experience". Sounds better than the Altered Beast remake already. (But then, what isn't?).
"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 a Sega spokesman. "The vision we have for the remake of Golden Axe is nothing short of remarkable."
