What code? The Warrior’s Code! See, clearly you don’t know it.

Hold it. Don’t read any further. Just stop for a moment and reminisce. Think of how only one year ago, we were relishing in the launch of Sony's debut handheld. Crazy, isn’t it?


And for a franchise that simultaneously kicked off with the system, we’re also awfully surprised to see how far Untold Legends has come. A year later, and already Sony Online Entertainment has given the franchise the green light for next-gen development (as confirmed earlier this month), not to mention a continuation to the handheld legacy. It lives on, friends, and for portable players alike, it comes in the form of Untold Legends: The Warrior’s Code. It’s also out today.

The Warrior’s Code builds upon the success of the original game while reaching out to new PSP system owners and fans of the action-RPG genre,” summates Chris Sturr, senior brand manager, Sony Online Entertainment. “The Warrior’s Code brings an entirely new level of gaming to the PSP system with an all-new story mode told through in-game cut scenes and two new multiplayer modes featuring cooperative play for up to two players or player-to-player battles for up to four players via either WiFi, or now for the first time, online.”

Now, you won’t be mincing up everything in site for just any old reason. With an omnipotent warlord and his minions fixated on the genocide of shape-shifting race, we reckon it’s damn near vital you fight back. Players will take the role of one of five of these contorting warriors in an adventure that spans five chapters and more than 45 areas, each chockfull of objects, devious traps, destructible walls and creatures just waiting to be collected/evaded/destroyed.

As you might have read earlier (we’re assuming you guys just skip over corporate quotes theses days), The Warrior’s Code is also suited for online play. A cooperative option lets two players play through a single story, while four of you can get in on the combat-oriented PvP battles. Both modes rock macro-chat communication, online lobby and matchmaking system, ensuring your esteemed quips of “wE ARE teh l33t” will not go unspoken. Or should we say… untold!

Untold Legends: The Warrior’s Code can be seen slicing through store shelves, screaming “Freeeeeeedom!” as only games that desperately want to you fork over $39.99 can do. A noble marketing strategy, no?
