Legendary Swords Release Date

Wow, big news in Poptropica today! In just a few hours, Game Show Island will launch for members. But there’s another new announcement today and it’s one we’ve been waiting to hear for a long time: the release date for Legendary Swords. It will be launched on November 11, 2011 (or 11/11/11 – which is a very “binary” date). Legendary Swords will be more than a regular Poptropica Island and it’s much more complex than a mini-game. It’s kind of its own adventure within the world of Poptropica. You’ll be a hero who explores a distant and strange planet and battles robots using a series of legendary swords. It’s much more of an action game than normal exploring and puzzle-solving on Poptropica island quests.

Here’s the official description of the new game from the creators:

On a distant planet, a hero explores a strange land to discover a race of aggressive and bizarre robots who are planning an invasion of Planet Poptropica! The only way the hero can stop this invading force is by using a series of hidden mystical swords that are scattered throughout the planet. Driven by courage (and a little fear), the hero must stop the invading robots and their diabolical master; the mysterious E. Vile!

There’s now an official Legendary Swords Page on the main Poptropica site that has more information including some desktop themes and a link to the trailer, which we’ve seen before. So now there will be two major things launching on Poptropica within weeks that feature robots. Like we’ve said before, someone at Poptropica sure likes robots!
