Voltron defends the universe on XBLA and PSN this week
All right, so publisher THQ might have been lion about the October release date for the new Voltron XBLA/PSN game, but the wait is almost over for the latest exercise in robo-combinatorics. The downloadable game based on the beloved cartoon (and more beloved die-cast toy) will be released today on PSN, and tomorrow on XBLA. In Voltron: Defender of the Universe, players each control one robot lion, choosing their preferred vehicle based on speed, range, and other unique stats. They then use their color-coded robocat to battle Robeasts in an isometric view. Then, when it's time to combine, players each control their own lion as a component of Voltron. We're looking forward to finding out if we have the skill to do anything but fall over.%Gallery-140512%
Voltron: Defender of the Universe coming this October to XBLA and PSN
THQ has revealed some details about the upcoming Voltron video game, first hinted at in the listing for a Comic-Con panel later on this week. The title will be called Voltron: Defender of the Universe (yes). It will be available on XBLA and the PSN later on this October (yes!) and allow up to five players to team up together as the five lions of the Voltron Force, even combining at one point to wield the Voltron sword as a team (YES!). Unfortunately, before the 10-year-old in you gets too excited, know that the game is being developed by Behavior Interactive, makers of the less-than-impressive Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime. The first trailer for the title shows some interesting dual stick shooter gameplay, but nothing that really convinces us this is a great game just yet. Maybe lessons were learned, right? THQ is scheduling Voltron: Defender of the Universe for the week of October 25, and it will cost $10. We'll be at the Comic-Con panel later on this week and let you know what we see there.
