The next big content update for Chair Entertainment's epic iOS sword battler, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/infinity-blade"><em>Infinity Blade</em></a>, comes out swinging this Thursday, May 19. By far the most notable addition, the new Arena Mode introduces 1v1 multiplayer combat via Game Center.<br />
<br />
Also making the cut is Survivor Mode, which challenges players to last as long as possible in an endless gauntlet of Titan battles. A variety of new weapons and items are also being introduced, including special holiday-themed helms. Finally, <em>Infinity Blade</em> will gain Facebook integration with the update, enabling players to take and share screenshots of their characters through a streamlined process.<br />
<br />
The "Arena" update will be free of charge and, if past Thursday releases on the App Store are any indication, will actually roll out in North America this Wednesday night around 11:30PM ET.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/17/infinity-blade-arena-update-adds-multiplayer-survivor-modes-t/">Infinity Blade 'Arena' update adds multiplayer, survivor modes this Thursday</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 17 May 2011 16:30:00 EST.

After giving a <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/22/bioshock-ps3-receiving-trophies-some-details-given/">tiny taste</a> of the Trophies available in the PS3 version of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/bioshock"><em>BioShock</em></a> a couple weeks ago, 2K left people feeling like all Achievements had simply been recycled. Not so, says 2K Marin designer Tynan Wales, explaining on the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/08/04/more-bioshock-trophy-details/">PlayStation Blog</a> that there are exclusive Trophies for the port.<br />
<ul>
    <li>"A Man Chooses" -- Complete "Survivor" difficulty.</li>
    <li>"I Choose The Impossible" -- Complete "Survivor" difficulty with the Vita-Chambers turned off.</li>
</ul>
So, what's this "exclusive" mode called Survivor for the PS3 version of the game? Beats us! There were murmurings that it was a hard difficulty with the Vita-Chambers turned off, but now that these two achievements have been revealed, that's obviously not the case. <strike>We're checking with 2K for an official answer.</strike><br /><br /><strong>Update</strong>: Supposedly 2K Marin will reveal what Survivor mode is tomorrow.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/04/2k-reveals-some-ps3-bioshock-trophies-survivor-mode-still-a-mys/">2K reveals some PS3 BioShock Trophies; Survivor mode still a mystery</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 04 Aug 2008 16:45:00 EST.
