<A href="http://www.sacred-game.com">Sacred</a> is getting a full blown commercial expansion:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>MIDLANDS, England (August 19th, 2004) - European games publisher, ASCARON ENTERTAINMENT announce at Leipzig Games Convention, the launch of SACRED Underworld, the first official expansion pack for the award winning PCCD role play game, SACRED. Set for release Q1 2005, Sacred Underworld begins directly where the original game left off.
<br>
<br>
It continues to tell the story of the kingdom of Ancaria, which is now facing a dreadful threat coming from its very depths. After Shaddar's demise, the player is drawn into the depths and faces a completely new, bizarre, bright and vast underworld. After many adventures above and below the world's surface, the hero will finally stand before the Portal of Hell, in an intense and dramatic climax.
<br>
<br>
Confirmed features so far:
<br>
<br>
<ul><li>Two new characters (Dwarf, Succubus)</li><li>Two new stories</li><li>World expansion of approx. 30 to 40 %</li><li>Completely new monsters and NPCs</li><li>New items and armor sets</li><li>Horses can be equipped</li><li>Special final opponents</li><li>Improved interface</li></ul></blockquote>

I'd rather see all the problems of the game ironed out first.

Sounds awfully familiar...


Nice to see they're faking the Underdark too.

Sacred had an underworld region, I believe. You get to see it briefly in the game, IIRC. It's more like the cave levels in Diablo though, so who knows what Hell looks like.

Then again, who didn't see a "Hell" part coming, honestly? You have angels as playable characters. The main bad guy is a loosed demon. Hell was coming.

Hey, it's a succubus! Apparently the Seraphim just didn't provide enough hott bikini action...

It was deemed absolutely essential that Sacred represent femininity in its complex wholeness - i.e., by showing both a saint and a whore.

Thank you, Catholicism. :roll:

The dwarf looks kind of cool, wearing goggles and being tattoed and stuff. I'm guessing he has tech gadgets. Goggles, rifle, power gloves (?) and so on. Would be a pretty funky class actually...

Because if it wasn't for Catholicism, Sacred wouldn't make a demon female PC.

It's the Vatican's fault, I tell ye!

I thought German were more protestant and Lutherian rather than catholic ?
(Ascaron being German.)
Personally I say the German film industry affects them too much. :wink:
