Lock’s Quest Announced For PC And Console
A remaster of the original Nintendo DS title Lock's Quest is on the way to defend against the Clockwork Army on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 this April.
THQ Nordic made the announcement as part of their MAP (meaningful asset-program), which is their internal master plan on which IPs to give their attention in the mid to long term. Lock's Quest has made the cut.
“I always felt Lock’s Quest deserved a multi-platform release, and it’s exciting to help that vision come to pass all these years later”, added Digital Continue Co-Founder & CEO, Joseph M Tringali. “The incredible pixel style translates well to console, and we were fortunate to include many high-resolution assets that weren’t in the original. It was great to work with a partner like THQ Nordic, who understands and respects the creative process, and was dedicated to both preserving and enhancing this fan favorite.”
The remaster of Lock’s Quest includes the original art style but with an overhauled UI, a new progression system tied to the story, new battles and a new map, remastered music, updated control schemes for PC and consoles, and HD resolution scaling with updated character portraits. What's Lock’s Quest all about? A young boy discovers an invasion plan for his village which triggers a larger war between Kingdom Force and the Clockwork Army.
Lock’s Quest releases on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 April 2017.
