Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom Interview

Sony Online Entertainment has been busy promoting their project for the PS3, the fantasy action-RPG– Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom. It has been quite a while since we have featured something new about this game, but now, Kevin O’Hara, senior producer of the game was able to shine some light on the game which is known for now as an extension of two previous games for the PSP.

When asked about the storyline of the game, Mr. O’Hara said that in this PS3 goody, “you play a member of an elite squad of warriors in the Kingdom of Dureth. You’re essentially Spec Ops for the kingdom; going off on dangerous missions abroad. The game starts right in the action with you bringing a final end to a barbarian incursion. Unfortunately while you’ve been away, the king has begun to experiment with dark powers. With external guidance, he has found a source of power in the suffering of his people. When you return, your homeland is a changed place. In order to save your kingdom, you’ll need to betray your king.”

Basically, the game isn’t just about your character’s physical prowess but it would also give you an idea who you are– the type who follows the leader no matter what or the type who instigates change when you see that there’s something utterly wrong about the scenario. Mr. O’Hara also mentions that it was very challenging to develop a game exclusively for the PS3. But it has its really exciting moments that are also very educational and applicable to their future projects.

He also mentions that they have plans on adding new and downloadable content. In his own words, “after the game ships, we’ll create additional content for download. At this time, we have not announced what that will be.” Pretty interesting.
