The current title for the new Kid Icarus game.

Kid Icarus: Uprising is Pit's long awaited revival game by fans. It is a newly and officially announced Kid Icarus game for the new Nintendo 3DS. It has taken a re-imagined 3D design of Pit and the enemies of the original NES game, though Pit and Palutena themselves are based off their Super Smash Bros. Brawl looks. Their character models are slightly downgraded from Super Smash Bros. Brawl due to the hardware limitation, but even so, the game itself seems very advanced graphic-wise for it's system (Nintendo's new portable, the 3DS).

Project Sora is the developer, and is planning to release another trailer. The game is still wing-deep in construction, so details are likely to change quickly.

Story

Still being early in development, the plot is undeveloped and it's unknown where this fits within the timeline of the series. The only trailer so far implies that it may be a sequel, with Medusa returning to attack Angel Land, with a horde of monsters and a fierce vengeance.

Gameplay

The game appears to be shoot'em up based, apparently with an upgrade system for Pit's blades as well. Pit retains the twin blade from Brawl, but they can be upgraded into more fierce melee weapons. As ca be gleaned from the trailer, there seems to be two primary modes of play.

Flight Mode

This resembles free-aiming flight modes as seen in titles such as Panzer Dragoon and Omega Boost, where Pit can fly in one direction and aim in another, reminiscent of the Palace in the Sky in the original Kid Icarus.

Land Mode

This appears to be a free-roaming mode, where Pit can alternate easily between melee and ranged combat.

Items

Items haven't yet been identified, but judging by the trailers Pit will retain his Bow and have various blade weapons similar to the ones he uses in Brawl.

Weapons

Pit is seen using the same bow as he was in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, in both twin-blade and bow mode. During a flight sequence, he can be seen using a pair of claws and a hammer-like weapon.
