The Quest for Excalibur Puy Du Fou (PS4)

You are the king’s only hope to find Excalibur! Everyone is familiar with legendary King Arthur and his bitter rival Lancelot. Consumed with envy, the latter challenges the king to a duel. Arthur’s faithful sword Excalibur splinters and breaks until only the cross-guard and handle remain.  Arthur enters into a pact with Morgan the Fairy and throws what’s left of his sword in troubled waters. He is then betrayed and ends up a prisoner in the afterlife Kingdom of Avalon. By order of his beloved king, the wizard Merlin sets out on a quest to find Arthur’s heir, gather Excalibur’s 15 fragments and bring Arthur back from the dead. A game map modelled after the world-renowned French theme park.
