Titan Studios has responded to the consternating fans of its new multiplayer title Fat Princess, saying that a patch to fix common connection problems is on the way. Since its release last Thursday, many Fat Princess customers have complained of being unable to connect to the game's servers. And once in a match, some are having trouble enjoying the game due to troublesome server lag.

"Players are sometimes experiencing significant lag in some games," admitted Titan on its blog. "Thanks to your feedback, we've identified a specific... Read more

Titan Studios' blood-letting, cake-scoffing downloadable PlayStation 3 game Fat Princess has been delayed until later in the summer, a Sony representative has said.

Fat Princess was due to arrive this month, leaving only next Thursday's weekly PlayStation Store update as a possible release date. "Fat Princess will have a global release date," wrote PlayStation Store Team member Mike Kebby on the European PlayStation.Blog "but I can confirm for you it will not be next week I'm afraid."

"The game is coming at some point this summer, but there is no confirmed release date at the moment," said Kebby. Until then, would-be feeders and fighters can get their fix with the charming Legend of the Fat Princess trailer and our impressions.

When we had a bash at Titan Studio's Fat Princess we were too engrossed by the 32-player class-based multiplayer to notice its story, so thankfully this trailer steps in to explain why so much comic blood is spilled, and such huge quantities of cake scoffed.

Fat Princess is scheduled for release on the PlayStation Network this month. An 8-player PSP version titled Fat Princess: Fistful of Cake was announced at E3.

"I always thought, well you know, the name will change later," says Titan Studios creative director Craig Leigh. "But it never did."

The following video for "that Fat Princess game" not only describes the game, but also goes behind the origin of the cutesy, gory, team-based multiplayer PSN title. For more on Fat Princess, check out our recent preview.

It's quite obvious that Sony and developer Titan Studios are aiming for the funny bone with their upcoming PlayStation Network title, Fat Princess. But after playing the game at a recent pre-E3 press gathering, I found that Fat Princess has more to offer than a couple cheap laughs.

While the irreverent humor and cute art style certainly take center stage throughout the experience, the unique blend of action and real-time strategy that makes up the gameplay in Fat Princess is the real star of the show. It's a funny game, but more importantly, it's also a fun game.

When I first started playing Fat Princess I couldn't help but make the connection between this game and one of my favorite and unfortunately oft-forgotten... Read more

New Fat Princess screenshots this morning show more of developer Titan Studios' light-hearted take on obesity, abduction and false imprisonment.

You, up to 16 noble heroes, must rescue your beloved princess from the depths of the dastardly enemy team's castle, where they are fattening her up with delicious cake so she's harder to carry away. Oh, and you have their podgy princess in your own castle too--you fiends!--so you best stifle their rescue attempt.

Players can switch between Fat Princess's five character classes--mage, priest, worker, warrior and archer--cutely and conveniently by picking up a new hat. The humble worker might not seem glamourous in this frenetic multiplayer action but is essential, collecting resources to construct fortifications and upgrade hat machines to power up classes.

Published by Sony, Fat Princess is reportedly due on the PlayStation Store this summer.

Update: While Epic Games holds a stake in Epic China, it is not a wholly-owned subsidiary and operates independently of Epic US, Epic Games US has clarified with Shacknews. Titan Studios is an extension of the Chinese branch.

Original: Unreal Engine 3 technology creator and Gears of War series developer Epic Games today added Fat Princess (PS3) developer Darkstar Industries to its stable of internal teams, renaming the newly-acquired company Titan Studios.

The studio will continue its work on Fat Princess, as well as create original games and provide technical Unreal Engine 3 support to those that work with Epic Games China.

Titan's multiple UE3-powered projects include a massively multiplayer online game, of which no details were revealed. The studio's staff hails from a variety of developers, such as Ubisoft, Epic Games, Blizzard Entertainment and Lionhead... Read more
