To usher in the new update, Epic has cut the game's price from $6.99 to $4.99, which should be an incentive to newcomers as the update also includes gameplay enhancements and graphical optimisation for Apple's new iPad.

"Massively multi-player gaming is something that resonates deeply with our audience and we feel the ability to now deliver this type of gaming experience, asynchronously on a mobile device is a real game changer," said ChAIR's creative director Donald Mustard.
In January 2012, the Infinity Blade series had generate sales of $30 million at which point its sequel, which was no more than a month old, accounted for $5 million.
