We hadn’t officially heard much on Johnny Two Shoe‘s latest forthcoming iOS release Prevail since they first announced it back in September, but the two brothers that comprise the studio have been extremely active in our forums, both talking about specific elements in Prevail and posting frequent new screen shots for our members to drool over.

Now Johnny Two Shoes has unleashed a brand new trailer for Prevail, and it’s looking insanely bad ass. It’s a 2D side-scrolling action game similar to their previous release Plunderland [$1.99/Lite], but cranked up to 11, with a vast open universe to explore and tons of activities for the game’s inhabitants to partake in. Not to mention an engrossing story that unfolds as the game progresses. Check the trailer and see for yourself:

As pretty huge fans of Plunderland, both for its fantastic aesthetics and novel gameplay, we’re pretty pumped for Prevail. This new trailer increases that level of pumped-ness several notches. Tons of planets? Multiple vehicles? Deforming terrain? Huge arrow battles? I’m totally in. Prevail is looking at an early 2012 release, which could be now or even a couple of months from now. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for sooner rather than later, and we’ll let you know if any new information surfaces.
