“Join Sphinx, the agile warrior, and his hilariously undead sidekick, The Mummy, as they embark on a quest to thwart the evil god Set, recover the stolen crowns of Egypt, and restore balance to the world. With epic puzzles, legendary creatures, and thrilling combat, this is the definitive way to experience a beloved classic. […] Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is available now for PlayStation 4,” the press release reads.
“Sphinx and The Cursed Mummy is an original 3rd person action-adventure inspired by the mythology of ancient Egypt. Travelling the world via magical portals to foil the evil plans of Set. Sphinx’s Journey will require all his wits, agility, and special powers. He will also rely on his reluctant hero friend, The Mummy, to help when being inconspicuous is the only solution. By finding the stolen magical crowns of Egypt, Sphinx can stop Set and save the world.
The synopsis continues: “An ancient Egyptian Universal Empire once joined several worlds through Solar Disc portals. The old empire was destroyed and the civilizations in each world have suffered different fates, some of them have continued contact and others have lost it. These worlds have been separated for such a long time that many of them would not recognize each other.”
