The Chronicles of Spellborn

Berlin, 2008/11/05: Travelling and discovering new areas is done quite differently to other MMORPGs in The Chronicles of Spellborn. Since the world of Spellborn is divided in different shard realms floating through the Deadspell Storm, other means of transport are necessary than just walking or riding. In order to travel to the different rock realms, the fantasy online-roleplaying game offers impressive journeys on so-called shard ships. Similar to sailing boats these massive vehicles are able to fly from one shard to another through the magical Deadspell Storm.

To use the shard ships, players will need to be fame level 10 minimum and interact with specific NPCs to join the crew. Departing from the docks of Hawk's Landing they will then experience a real-time journey together with other players and NPCs. Yet, they should be wary of the menaces lurking in the Storm and be ready to defend the ship. Hostile humanoids or even monsters could attack without warning during the travel. If a player fears these encounters and needs to travel quickly, he or she can also rent a cabin, which works like a teleport. To showcase what travelling is like in The Chronicles of Spellborn, publisher Frogster and developer Spellborn recorded a new ingame trailer which is available on the new website for download at the following address:

MMO fans can still register on the new website www.tcos.com to join the crew themselves and have an early look at the game. The Chronicles of Spellborn will be released on November 27th in Europe.

What Lies Hidden, Must Be Found

In The Chronicles of Spellborn players enter an impressive online game world containing scenic landscapes, majestic cities and the remnants of a shattered world. Alone or with a party of friends, PC adventurers step into a fantasy realm consisting of varied shards: habitable pieces of the destroyed world floating in the magical Deadspell Storm. Those who want to prevail in the involving combat of The Chronicles of Spellborn need to apply their mighty arsenal of skills actively with mouse and keyboard.. Battles with bloodthirsty creatures, intelligent hostile factions and other human opponents in Player vs. Player battles are waiting. An innovative and tactically challenging combat system with third-person shooter-like controls and a unique rotating Skill Deck provides a breath of fresh air amidst the more traditional MMORPGs. Thanks to a largely extended Unreal Engine 2.5, The Chronicles of Spellborn boasts stunning 3D graphics, spectacular effects and countless elaborate details.
