We just got our hands on some screens for upcoming action role-playing game Loki. The game, in development by Cyanide, has players taking on the role of one of four heroes: a Norse warrior, a Greek fighter, an Egyptian sorcerer or an Aztec shaman.

Features:

Epic adventure through four great mythologies - Aztec, Egyptian, Greek and Norse - allowing the player to live through many of the key episodes that mark these cultures (the siege of Troy, Ragnarok, etc) and setting him on the path of the most prominent figures within each episodes (Achilles, Thor, Akhenaton).

Choose from four different heroes with their own attributes and powers. Each hero has a stunning array of spells and skills to help them in their quest.

More than 100 beautifully detailed monsters of all shapes and sizes.

Dare to take on mythological creatures that struck fear into the hearts of our ancestors, including Fenrir the giant wolf, and the Minotaur in his labyrinth.

Weapons are composed of two individual parts (loosely "handle" and "striking edge") and from different materials, and can be customized at the village forge to change characteristics. Magic runes can also multiply the wonder of a weapon.

Play the adventure with your friends as part of a group or take on others in PvP mode inside a dedicated online arena, or dice with death by taking up one of the online challenges.

Looks an awful lot like they are striving for the God of War or Titan Quest look. The game hits PCs this June. Brian Crecente
