Kid Icarus: Pit Gladiator

Kid Icarus: Pit Gladiator (or Pit Gladiator for short), is an upcoming action shooting game in the Kid Icarus series that is published by Nintendo. And a sequel to Kid Icarus: Uprising, the game is set to be released in late 2015 only on the Nintendo 3DS.

Story
The games story is based off of Ratchet: Deadlocked, taking place two years after Kid Icarus: Uprising. The game starts with Pit and the rest of Palutena's Army training until they soon all black out, when they wake up they are in a combat show hosted by Cronus. His goal is to get rid of all gods so that he can take over the world (not knowing that Pit is an Angel and not a god), and Pit is now forced to becoming the new contestant against his will to secretly rescue all of the gods. Pit is joined by Dark Pit who is his combat partner, and Viridi who provides Pit the power of flight replacing Palutena who is a sports commentator for Cronus combat show.

Gameplay Modes
The game plays much like Kid Icarus: Uprising, a major difference in this game is that you are now able to jump.

Solo
Solo is where the main story takes place. You usually are playing as Pit, but depending on the circumstance you will play as Dark Pit. Instead of having chapters like in Kid Icarus: Uprising, you now instead have missions such as killing a certain amount of enemies, or making it through an area without taking any damage.

Air Battles
The air battles in this game are very rare, similar to the final chapters of Kid Icarus: Uprising instead of Palutena providing the power of flight it is instead Viridi. Though Pit doesn't have a lot of air battles, and instead Dark Pit because of having real flight powers.
