Blackthorne - PC - last boss & ending
7Released as Blackhawk in some European countries.
In 2013, Blizzard released the game for free on their Battle.net PC client.
In celebration of the company's 30th anniversary, Blackthorne was re-released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One as part of the Blizzard Arcade Collection in February 2021.
The inspiration for Blackthorne came from Another World and Flashback.
For the first versions, the sprites for game characters were done using rotoscoping techniques just like Prince of Persia, using over 1000 frames to get smooth, lifelike animation.
The protagonist's name Kyle was inspired by Kyle Reese from the 1984 film The Terminator.
