Epic Games and ChAIR's Infinity Blade is about to reach a whole new audience. They are announcing today that a version of that game called Infinity Blade FX will be available in co-op form in amusement centers worldwide, starting with the popular Dave & Buster's complexes in the US. The game is debuting at a convention this week and in D&B's by October 28.

Adrenaline Amusements in partnership with Epic Games, Inc. and its award-winning development studio, ChAIR Entertainment, today announced "Infinity Blade FX," the coin-up version of the blockbuster video game "Infinity Blade," will be released nationwide this month. The 46-inch arcade game will debut at this week's GEEX Consumer Expo in Salt Lake City, UT, October 14-15, 2011 (South Town Center Booth #423) while simultaneously making its first appearance across Dave & Buster's nationwide. "Infinity Blade FX," both in its single-player and two-screen multiplayer configuration, will be playable across Dave & Buster's 57 restaurant/entertainment complexes by October 28, 2011.

"The original 'Infinity Blade' demonstrated the true potential of triple-A handheld gaming by delivering mind-blowing graphics and awesome gameplay to millions of mobile users. We're now taking that experience to a whole new level with an exciting new experience crafted specifically for arcade gamers," said David Lachance, President and leader of innovation at Adrenaline Amusements.

Powered by Unreal Engine 3, the critically acclaimed "Infinity Blade" ushered in a new generation of handheld gaming and became the definitive blockbuster experience on iOS. "Infinity Blade FX" will bring arcade players up to speed with today's most modern video game technology, offering an unmatched, supersized version of the game. Utilizing Adrenaline's TouchFX platform, arcade gamers in the United States will be the first to experience the mysterious realm of the "Infinity Blade" universe on a 46-inch screen with multi-touch capability. The arcade cabinet will make its debut in the arcade video game industry at the Forthcoming IAAPA - International Association of Amusement Parks and Attraction Expo taking place in Orlando, FL in November.

Adrenaline marketing leader, Marc-Antoine Pinard added: "Like 'Fruit Ninja,' TouchFX versions of 'Infinity Blade FX' will also be seen in FEC, arcade, and amusement park locations around the world."

I wish we had more neighborhood arcades around here.
It's all Red & Jerry's and Dave & Busters now.

I mean, yeah, the local bowling alleys still have arcade machines, from the early 90's!
(and it still takes 75 cents to play that stuff)

Seriously, how cool is it going to be to play a HUGE version of Infinity Blade in an arcade?

I've played the Fruit Ninja game in an arcade with my six year old. It's using the same system Infinity Blade will be using - a big ass touch screen. It was tons of fun, but I wonder how those units hold up long term as we were fairly smacking the hell out of the screen. :wavey:
