Earlier today we discovered a countdown on Gameloft's Hero of Sparta site. The clock has run down to reveal a trailer, and at the end of the trailer there's a highly imminent release date of July 29th.

You can often describe Gameloft's games in terms of the big console games they resemble, and in the case of Hero of Sparta, which scored a coveted Pocket Gamer Silver Award, the resemblance is with God of War.

Hero of Sparta II sees you taking on the role of Argos, who returns home to Sparta after years of violence to discover that the gods have messed everything up, necessitating yet more violence.

The trailer looks fairly juicy, featuring large set-pieces, fancy cut-scenes, colossal foes, and gory executions.

Gameloft hasn't revealed the price yet, but we're betting it'll be £3.99.
