News- Titan Invasion To Be Two Seperate Titles
Curves Studios has announced today that they will be splitting Titan Invasion into two standalone titles. Originally the two games, Titans Attack and Revenge of The Titans were to be sold as one combined package.
The decision came early yesterday because Curve Studios wanted to allow PuppyGames (the porter) the neccessary time to create each game to the high standards of Curve Studios.
We are not sure how this will affect the price of the games. We assume that originally they would have been $15 dollars together and now they will be $15 dollars each, however we have no way of knowing. We do know that the release dates have changed. Revenge Of The Titans will come this May, while Titans Attack has no release date.
