The iPad 2 launches today in the US, and the developer of the most advanced iOS game is launching an update to take advantage of the new technology. Infinity Blade’s about to get even prettier.

Chair’s epic (and, indeed, Epic) action-RPG has taken the iPhone and iPad world by storm with its near console-standard graphics and absorbing touchscreen gameplay. It was designed to push the A4 chip in the iPhone 4 and original iPad to its limit, so now that a device is being released with double the processing power and nine times the graphical power a refresh is needed.

In what Chair is calling “the ultimate “show off your iPad 2’s graphics prowess” app,” Infinity Blade will receive a bunch of optimizations and improvements to take advantage of the iPad 2′s dual-core A5 chipset.

According to Chair technical director, Geremy Mustard, “The iPad 2 is a huge leap up in processing power from the first iPad, and is more powerful than the impressive iPhone 4.” He continues: “The whole operating system will feel even more responsive and smooth. For developers like us who are always pushing the hardware to its limits, the iPad 2 will allow us to do things people won’t believe can be done on a tablet device.”

This will be the second notable update for Infinity Blade in the space of just over a week. The Deathless King update added a whole new area to explore, making the blockbuster game even more of an appealing buy. For new iPad 2 owners, it’s looking to be that essential show-off app for your new bit of kit.
