Infinity Blade Hits Arcades This Month

Arcades remain in my heart as something to freaking do on a boring weekday night, so the announcement of Infinity Blade hitting arcades is music to my ear holes. The arcade version of fantastic mobile game running on the iOS version of the Unreal Engine, Infinity Blade FX, runs on a 46” dual touch screen. The machines will support both single and multiplayer gameplay in your local Dave and Busters by the end of October and elsewhere soon after. Infinity Blade fans have plenty to look forward to with this announcement and the recent unveiling of a sequel.

I’m a bit worried what the screens on these things are going to look like after a good number of the general public have rubbed their grubby hands on them. Hopefully there will be a bottle of hand sanitizer or disinfecting towels located next to the machine. Presumably there won’t be any kind of player progression like in the mobile version, but it sure would be cool if some sort of password system were implemented to support it. While this seems like a missed opportunity for some kind of crazy sword peripheral that will be misused by rowdy arcade goers, I know I’m going to look for one of these next time I’m close to a Dave and Busters.
