Set in the richly detailed Mage Knight universe, players take on the role of one of five guardians, warriors sworn by oath to seek out the heart of evil plaguing the land and stop it no matter what the cost. Guided by the magical and mysterious race known as the Solonavi, the guardians embark on an epic journey to rescue their world from the hands of an army of pure evil determined to bring about the Apocalypse. As the forces of Chaos rise, a creature of unimaginable strength and destructive power is born to lead the enemy: the Apocalypse Dragon, a seemingly unstoppable five headed monstrosity. In order to face this threat players cannot go it alone, they must rally support from all of the factions of the land and recruit brave heroes to fight for their cause. The future rests on the shoulders of these noble adventurers, and the battle to end all battles is about to begin.

It shall be mine! :D Now to decide which platform to get it for. I think Xbox...

I'm definitely not waiting for the PC version. That's not supposed to release until Spring of 2006.

I would like to point out that, as I suspected all along, the Solonavi are the good guys!!!!!

I hope they do them justice in the game!

Where are you getting XBox from? None of the PRs say anything about the XBox, only PC... ;)

The game is PC only.

Poo. You're right. I was misinterpreting their page. I don't wannna wait a whole year.

Is it going to be another online game (like Ultima Online, MechWarrior, ect..) or just a PC game without having to have a link to go online? I just skimmed though the announcement, so I'm not sure of those details. Help....

I just hope the Apoc dragon is so d_ _ _ ed tough that it takes a pack of 10 friends playing online (with 5 heroic characters each) to beat it. That seems about right for its power...

I hate 'ultimate bosses' that are push-overs.

like melbu frahma from dragoon?
