Prepare to slash and block your way through gruesome mythological beasts next year in Godfire: Rise of Prometheus

Given the popularity of the God of War franchise and its ongoing - and inevitable - absence from the App Store and Google Play, it was only a matter of time before a developer delivered a mobile game in the same vein as Sony's long-running series.

Turns out that Vivid Games, who was behind last year's Real Boxing, is that developer.

Today, you see, Vivid Games announced Godfire: Rise of Prometheus. It's an action game based on Greek mythology in which you play Prometheus.

Prometheus embarks on a quest to find the Godfire Spark after losing it among the mortals on earth. He 'mislaid' it during his attempt to steal it from the other titans so he could offer it to the human race.

You'll have full control of Prometheus, so you'll be able to explore the perilous environment, solve puzzles, and fight gruesome beasts.

According to Vivid Games CEO Remi Koscielny, his team has mixed the ancient Greek aesthetic with futuristic elements in this forthcoming action title.

We'll find out precisely what that means when Godfire: Rise of Prometheus surfaces in early 2014 for iOS and Android devices.
