After picking up the majority of Sacred 2 developer Ascaron’s assets earlier this month, Kalypso Media now announces the formation of Gaming Minds Studios, where former Ascaron devs work on former Ascaron games.
We’re a week away from the console release for Sacred 2: Fallen Angel, and Ascaron has released a lovely set of PlayStation 3 screens just in case anyone doubted that version existed.
CDV Software and Ascaron Entertainment deliver Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners to the world of Ancaria in mid-May, announcing the official release date for Sacred 2: Fallen Angel.
Console owners wishing to travel the lands of Ancaria will have to delay their vacation plans, as the release date for Sacred 2: Fallen Angel for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 slips to May.
The latest trailer for Sacred 2: Fallen Angel focuses on T-energy, the mysterious power that fuels the world of Ancaria’s magic.
In this behind the scenes video for Ascaron’s Sacred 2: Fallen Angel, Blind Guardian vocalist Hansi Kürsch explains how a German heavy metal band gets into a video game.
The latest update to Ascaron’s PC RPG Sacred 2: Fallen Angel not only includes the beta version of the Sacred 2 network, but also contains a health dose of holiday cheer.
With game publishers getting blasted over strict digital rights management solutions in their PC titles left and right these days, Ascaron and cdv Software Entertainment USA are taking a rather different approach. Rather than limit the number of times you can install the game on various machines, you’ll be able to install Sacred 2: Fallen Angel on as many systems as you’d like as a sort of “Try Before You Buy” feature. Purchasers of retail or digital copies of the game can pass it around to friends, which lets them play the full version of the game for one calendar day before requiring they buy the title. “We feel that consumers should have a right to choose, and this innovative system offers the perfect purchasing option for gamers,” said Heiko tom Felde, Managing Director of ASCARON. “It’s a great system for family and friends, allowing everyone the opportunity to try out the game and play together, then making a purchase decision.”
While PC gamers will still be getting their next fix of Diablo-style action RPG goodness next month, console owners will have to wait a bit longer for Ascaron’s Sacred 2: Fallen Angel. Both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game have slipped to early 2009 in order to get online multiplayer up to speed.
