Codemasters announced today Rise of the Argonauts, an action RPG in development by Liquid Entertainment for PC and leading consoles (whatever they may be).

Rise of the Argonauts will immerse gamers in a gladiatorial adventure, set in wondrously imagined vision of ancient Greece. With deep exploration and epic quests, players will live a life of brutal combat as they lead a team of iconic warriors – including Jason, Hercules and Atalanta – through a world ruled by mythological gods.

The game is set for a 2008 release.
