A ranking system will determine each day's and the overall champions, who can look forward to exclusive prizes.
Before competing in the long awaited battles for Ancaria, competitors will be treated to extensive training in a dedicated briefing room, Then players claim their seats to the sound of fanfares and finally raise their swords.
"It is essential for us to make sure all visitors feel they are a part of SACRED 2 - Fallen Angel. We don't only focus on the look of our booth: we want to spend time with each of our visitors and acquaint them with the game before they actually start testing it.
