After a first look reveal on 1Up.com, Konami has now issued their official press release for Rocket Knight, the revival of their classic action game series. The game is set for a downloadable release for the PC and other platforms in 2010.

Konami also released new screenshots from the "2.5D" side-scroller that reunites old-time gamers with the action-pack possum Sparkster. Using his sword and rocket pack, Sparkster will have to battle "a hostile wolf army looming to take the lives of the Zephyrus people." Look for the game to have timed levels and leaderboards for gamers to compare themselves to others.
