Mini-sized Thor? Yes. Mini-sized game? No chance in “Hel.”
Today we’re showing off the final trailer for Young Thor, which will be launching next week for minis on PSP and PS3. Our team has had a ton of fun creating titles for minis like Zombie Tycoon and the recent Widgets Odyssey, but Young Thor represents a completely new milestone in our efforts. Built entirely for minis from the ground up to look great when played on either system, we wanted to deliver a truly epic action title that pushes the boundaries for what a minis title can become, and it’s anything but tiny. Check out the official launch trailer below!
A fresh take on iconic Norse Mythology, the game has been inspired by some of the best action-platformers and beat-em up brawlers around. You’ll need to pummel your way through Midgard, the world of men, and Asgard, the world of the gods, with over a dozen different attacks and special powers if you should ever hope to save the world tree Yggdrasil. While I don’t want to spoil anything, we also have a mountain of 50 different in-game achievables to unlock throughout Thor’s epic journey. On top of that, there is an addictive leveling and experience system that will let you strengthen your stats to level 99, and there are plenty of divine items that will help you bring the hammer down on Hel, daughter of Loki!
We’ve had all hands-on deck for Young Thor since the beginning, and we’re happy to also share a look at some of the artwork that went into the game’s visual style. You can even get a look at some of the comics we’ve made, which also showcase the more light-hearted humor from our take on the mythology.
The release of Young Thor has been a long time coming, and we’re happy that this PSP Mini title will also be playable on the PS3 when it hits the PlayStation Store on July 20th for just $4.99. In truth, we feel there is more to this minis title than anything else before this, and we could go on for ages if Odin would let us. Instead, I’ll be fielding some questions from you guys in the thread below, and I’m happy to answer as much as I can about the game!
Awesome! Will this be cross platformed between the ps3 and psp or at least work with remote-play?
looks cool,
Trailer says PSP and PS3
psn on twitter said yes it’ll be for both systems, psp/ps3
How will the achievements work on the psp and the ps3? Are they going to be both connected?
looks great
Yes the game looks extremely good on PS3.
AS for Achivements they are ingame only since Trophies are not allowed for Minis.
give it a trophy and im there… well im danish (one of the contrys who belived in the Norse Mythology) so i will buy it anyway. but trophys would be awsome
WOW, now there’s a Mini I will definitely buy.
I thought this was a Marvel licensed Thor. XP
Does it run at 1080p and 5.1?
This looks awesome. Another mini I’ll need to buy. Great stuff!
Thor is the Norse God of Thunder.
Our version is very different from Marvel’s.
And while the game runs through emulationand looks really good on a PS3, it is a Minis and therefore is not technically in HD. Minis need to be under 100Mo remember.
For a PS Mini, this looks pretty good.
Wow. Day one buy for me. I can’t resist the $4.99 price tag.
looks very interesting and fun , i think you just convinced me to buy my first psp mini game
Thank you sir ! That was the intent the whole time :-)
