I’m sure everyone remembers the jaw-dropping Unreal Engine 3-powered tech demo from Epic Games that Apple used to demonstrate the power of iPhone 4 and iPad gaming back in September at its Special Event in San Francisco. At that time, the forthcoming game on which the demo was based was called Project Sword, although its name was subsequently changed to Infinity Blade.

The game features adrenaline-fuelled sword battles and epic boss fights set in the realm of a fully 3D castle. As play progresses, players gain experience, build stats and earn more powerful items to prepare their knight for the final encounter with the games nemesis, the God-King.

Judging by the tech demo, Infinity Blade is destined to be magnificent on iPhone 4 and iPad, and happily we won’t have to wait much longer for it, as Pocket Gamer reports today, Epic Games has finally announced that Infinity Blade will be released on December 9 as a universal app that, once downloaded, will be playable on any compatible Apple device, namely iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch (third and fourth gen only) and iPad. Pocket Gamer also reveals that the game will cost £3.99/$5.99 to download.
