The relentless onslaught of Gameloft iOS releases continues, as they have announced that their Uncharted-like action-adventure game Shadow Guardian will be launching December 16th. For those of you familiar with the intricacies of preset App Store release dates and the mysteries of global time zone differences, that means that Shadow Guardian will be hitting the New Zealand App Store in the next few minutes and should appear in the US App Store at 11pm EST tonight. Gameloft has also provided a brand new trailer for Shadow Guardian in anticipation of its release:
If you’ve played the Uncharted games on Playstation 3 before, then you will likely be able to point out the many similarities in this trailer for Shadow Guardian. But, as always, it’s pretty unlikely that we’d ever get to see an official version of Uncharted on iOS, so I will gladly take this close approximation. There’s a discussion currently underway for the game in our forums, and assuming we don’t die of exhaustion from the avalanche of other games set to release tonight, we’ll take a closer look at Shadow Guardian after it becomes available in the US App Store.
