As we said in our review of the Beta, Fat Princess is great little game with lots of potential and it’s one we have our eyes firmly fixed on. The full game, however, has sneaked up on us a little: we already locked Fat Princess down to a June release but seemed to have completely forgotten about the kooky little battler since the Beta.

The game, which developers Titan “always wanted to create a Castle Siege game with a very unique and distinctive art style” is a 32 player medieval battle royale, where two teams fight it out to rescue their own Princess from their enemy’s castle.  Players select from Workers, Rangers, Priests, Mages and Warriors and must switch between defense and offense continuously.

“There is always something crazy going on, ” said Craig Leigh, Creative Director at Titan Studios, “but that’s to be expected when you combine 32 players, swords, cake and chickens.”  Fat Princess won’t be appearing on any other console, either: “SCEI has been an awesome supporter of the concept and scooped up the game to be a PlayStation Network exclusive.”

We’ve asked Sony for confirmation on the slightly sketchy release date, but we were simply told that one hasn’t officially been announced yet.  If SCEE can stick to their earlier June prediction then that either means we’ll see it tomorrow or the following Thursday.  As soon as find out we’ll obviously let you know via one of our usual Store Update posts.

  1. I really hope it’s tomorrow! Been looking forward to this for a while now. Missed out on the beta so can’t wait to play the full thing.


  2. Fantastic, I can’t wait to play this, it looks like it will be real fun to play and I am addicted to the PSN games just now so another one will feed my addiction.


  3. I’ve not looked into this that much, so I have no idea what its about.

    What I know so far – Some Fat Wifey, Loves cake, 32 player online

    :D


    • DL the video from the store, it tells you exactlywhat to expect.


  4. This better be out next week and not tomorrow or mark my words there’ll be trouble.

    (I dont get paid till next week and can’t endure watching everyone play this game whilst I’m not able to)


  5. I am def. getting this game…..
    Tomorrow, next week, I want it!

    Yummie cake!

    BTW, is there some form of clan support in the game? And if so, are we gonna have a TSA clan in there?


    • It has blood, it has cake. This game should be a no brainer for a TSA clan in some form!


    • We should definitely have a TSAN cake clan. TSA members have a lot of experience in fighting for biscuit and cake :D


  6. Looking forward to this. I hope there’s a demo though.


  7. I was looking forward to this but, I’m put off by how difficult it is to capture the flag (sorry, Princess)


    • Yeah, a lot of feedback from the beta seems to suggest that in a lot of games the princesses were basically forgotten, with teams just battling the hell out of each other in the middle of the map. Still, definitely looking forward to this.


      • in that case it should be quite easy for a couple of us TSA’ers to get together, sneak round the back and swipe her from under their noses! Muahahahahahahahahaha -ha


  8. I take it there is no estimate on the cost of it?


    • Let’s hope its around a fiver, or at most £8. I wouldnt pay much more than that for a psn game.


      • I would have though 9.99 is the minimum for it… it’s not a mini-game you know, like on mobiles

        Most likely around 14.99


  9. Dunno what it is but I’m just not interested in this at all.


    • how can you know if you have no idea what it is? thats like someone saying ‘ I dunno what sex is but i have no interest in it’


  10. It *should* be tomorrow, Sony Asia have confirmed that it launches there on the 18th and I don’t see them getting it a week before we do.


  11. Looks good to be fair but I have zero money to spend on anything! Ahh damn alton towers not giving me a summer job.

    Still, hopefully they’ll be a demo!


  12. I have a feeling it won’t come tomorrow. Wouldn’t they have confirmed it if it was coming tomorrow? I think next week or the week after would be more probable.


  13. The princess looks like Heather in Eastenders.
    Just for the record, I’m not proud of myself knowing who Heather from Eastenders is!


  14. How much then? £7.99?


  15. Looking forward to this, but I don’t mind delays as I *really* don’t have the money right now. Plus, it looks like you’ll really need a mic to get the best out of it, so there’s another £20!

    Looks great though. Some competition for Flower for the best PSN game of the year?


  16. exactly. i’ve a feeling that this is a game where organised teams using voice comms will reign supremely supreme over even team-minded individuals.
