Choplifter HD set to lift off on XBLA, PSN and PC next week

Choplifter HD is indeed finally ready to lift off on both the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace. Besides being in HD obviously the arcade classic reboot will be released by InXile Entertainment and/or Konami (depending on the platform) and will feature quite a lot more game than the original.

It’ll also set you back $14.99 or 1200 Microsoft Points when it launches on January 10th and 11th. The developers somehow found a way to sneak in a number of cameos from famous videogame characters such as Duke Nukem and Super Meat Boy, so that may make the whole package worth it…

Check out a new set of screens and read on for the press release.

About Choplifter HD:

InXile Entertainment today confirmed release dates and pricing for Choplifter HD across the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade and PC. Choplifter HD will be available for download next Tuesday, January 10 on the PlayStation Network and PC; and will be available just a few hours later on January 11 on the Xbox Live Arcade. Priced at $14.99 or 1200 Microsoft points, Choplifter HD is developed by inXile Entertainment. InXile will publish the PlayStation Network and PC versions and will co-publish the Xbox Live Arcade version with Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.

In Choplifter HD, players take control of a variety of helicopters armed with a number of offensive capabilities so they can swoop in and make daring rescues in hot zones. The game features more than 30 missions ranging from straight prisoner extraction to dropping off saboteurs that blow buildings sky high to saving survivors from viral outbreaks. Pilots must bank, hover, touchdown, and sometimes even shake loose pesky zombies hanging from their choppers. Gamers can also look forward to a few cameos from some of the videogame industry’s most legendary leading men including Duke Nukem and Super Meat Boy. Choplifter HD combines intense action, humor and tons of variety, creating developer inXile Entertainment’s own, fresh take on the original Choplifter experience. Choplifter HD is rated T for Teen by the ESRB and dares players to risk their lives in order to save others starting today.
