Sacred 2 Pushed 2 September

Ascaron's Diabloesque Sacred 2: Fallen Angel, once slated for a Q1 2008 release, has now been officially pushed back to September 2008. In a post on the game's official website, the company explains that the game is being delayed in order to make it the best damn Sacred 2: Fallen Angel it can possibly be.

An extension of the development process was necessary in order to ensure that we realize all the development plans and ship both PC and Xbox 360 versions with the best possible quality and stability.
In other words, it wasn't done yet. The post appeared on the site on Christmas day, which makes it a dubious sort of Christmas present for fans of the game or German symphonic fantasy metal.

Sacred 2 Bringing Arena to Leipzig

Sacred 2: Fallen Angel developer Ascaron is one of Germany's leading game developers, so you know they're going to be rolling up on Leipzig in style. Not only are they staging a worldwide exclusive test of the multiplayer aspects of their latest action RPG, they've constructed a 1600 foot arena separate from their main booth for visitors and press to battle it out on. Preregistered contestants will be ushered from a briefing room to the arena floor accompanied by fanfares as they take their seats and compete for exclusive prizes. If you are among those lucky enough to be attending the 2007 Games Convention, hit up www.sacred2.com to sign up for a slot. Everyone who enters receives a GC T-shirt, a copy of the original Sacred, a 5 Euro Wirecard voucher and a Sacred novel. Exactly the sort of thing that made the old E3 so much fun! More »

Expect bizarre characters and dark humor all around. More »

Latest by L_K_M: @Jesse Mrozowski: Yes, it was 2D. They switched to 3D characters quite some time ago, when it turned out that 2D would be prohibitively expensive. more »
