"Tork" Announced

Quotes
"Xbox is driving the future of interactive entertainment,” said Robbie Bach, senior vice president and chief Xbox officer at Microsoft."

A furious, fast-paced action game, "Tork" introduces a fearless caveboy hero who uses magical powers to transform himself into a bulldozing yeti, an armor-plated armadillo or a swift flying squirrel on a mission through time.

Evil warriors have upset the balance of order in Tork's village and taken his father away. With his favorite weapon at his side, a bolas that packs a punch, Tork must travel through a variety of worlds on a quest to find his father and complete the journey before the course of history is changed forever.

Features:

  • A bolas-wielding caveboy. Tork fearlessly taunts the biggest, scariest dinosaurs; he uses agility and speed to dodge hails of spears and arrows; and he survives earthquakes, avalanches and spewing lava around every corner with sheer toughness and resolve. Confident and strong, swift on his feet and steadfastly determined, Tork is a courageous caveboy who sets off on the adventure of a lifetime to track down his father. His favorite weapon, a bolas that is always at his side, is swung through the air for a melee attack.
  • Unleashing inner animal spirits. To survive battles and hazards on the long journey, sometimes it pays to look within. When the going gets tough, Tork's magical powers can unleash inner animal spirits that transform him into three super powerful creatures:
    An abominable, bulldozing yeti who bashes walls to create rock slides and power-slams enemies
    An armor-plated armadillo, outfitted with impenetrable shielding, who can tuck up for a cannonball attack
    A swift flying squirrel who glides through the skies and plummets for surprise torpedo attacks
  • Time travel. Tork quickly adapts to new surroundings as he travels from his home in the Stone Age to a fortified castle full of jousting knights in the Medieval Age. He forges on through the Fantastical Age of Machines where enemies use huge lumbering land machines to battle on earth and fantastic submarines to protect underwater fortresses. Tork even visits the surface of a blazing comet for out-of-this-world gameplay.
    Awe-inspiring worlds. Tork doesn't just stand around and admire the gorgeous environments - these are dangerous places! He encounters earthquakes, landslides, avalanches, dinosaurs, erupting geysers, exploding catapults and more while traveling through the various worlds.
