Zynga’s Ico, Shadow of the Colossus inspired “Horn” Arriving This Month

Gear up for Zynga and Phosphor Game’s (of Dark Meadow fame) upcoming action adventure, Horn which will see the light of day this month. First teased at Google I/O 2012, Horn follows the the story of a  boy as he journeys to save a cursed land. The press release divulges further insight to the plot:

Based loosely on the Old English tales of King Horn, you play as a young blacksmith’s apprentice who wakes up to find his village overrun by fantastic, and sometimes humorous, monsters. On your incredible adventure, you carry the loud-mouthed head of one such creature with you — a somewhat uncooperative, ill-tempered, grudgingly helpful sidekick. Along with the help of this new companion, you must use your sword, crossbow, trusty musical horn, and wits to explore the lands, defeat the enemies, and solve puzzles in your quest to undo the curse that engulfs your homeland.

This week also saw the Horn‘s first debut trailer:
Judging the the trailers gameplay, the developers behind “Horn” have taken major inspirations from Team Ico’s “Shadow of the Colossus” and“ICO”, complete with gigantic sprawling bosses, cinematic combat, and signature horned helmet.

No exact date of release or retail price (or possibility of free to play), though we won’t have to wait long as the game will drop this month.
