Sacred 3 Releasing This Summer

Sacred 3, which takes players back to the fantasy realms of Ancaria, will be released for Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC this summer.

The game is the latest in the line of Sacred hack and slash games, returning to the more lavish production of Sacred 2: Fallen Angel (released way back in 2008) as opposed to more recent, slightly disappointing spin-off, Sacred Citadel.

Sacred 3 will feature drop in, drop out cooperative multiplayer for both offline (2 players) and online (4 players) play.

“The paramount development goal for Sacred 3 has been to create a seamless online and offline co-op experience”, said Remy van Leeuwen, Brand Manager of Deep Silver. “By creating a game built around the central concept of co-op gameplay, we’re expanding the series to new audiences without compromising the rich lore and fantasy of the Sacred universe.”

With titles like Diablo doing well on consoles, it’s good to see the loot-based hack and slash genre doing well on consoles. Here’s hoping Deep Silver are on to a winner…

If writing ability was a flavour, I would be the warming embrace of apple and cinnamon - wonderfully familiar and pleasantly spiced. Ever the optimist, I spend most of my game time diligently failing at fighting games (BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena being the preferred titles), Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. As you can surely ascertain from such preferences I'm a gamer at my most content when a title is punishing me, abusing my feeble abilities and forcing me to improve myself in order to overcome life affirming challenges. Feel free to question my opinions and such on Twitter, @Dalagonash, or find me on every gaming network available as Dalagonash.
