SpellForce 2: Demons of the Past Delayed Until 2014

Apparently there are some last-minute “features in the multiplayer department” that Nordic Games wants to sort out for their SpellForce 2: Demons of the Past standalone expansion pack, and that has pushed the RPG/RTS continuation back all the way to January 16th, 2014 from its original October 24th, 2013 release date. Hey, at least it’s still enroute:

SpellForce 2 Demons Of The Past

The end of an era pushed to January 16th 2014

London, UK October 10th 2013: To ensure a fully formed gaming experience, Nordic Games has announced it will now release SpellForce 2 Demons Of The Past on January 16th 2014 due to additional features in the multiplayer department.

Demons Of The Past will feature the popular free game mode, where the tales of the single player campaign can be experienced in a new way i.e. with other players cooperatively. To top it off, a new survival mode will be implemented with distinctive objectives and gameplay. More detailed information on the specifics of the new modes will be released in due time.

(We had the choice to either release the single player part first, then follow-up with the new multiplayer modes later, or release it all in one go. We opted for the latter,) said Gennaro Giani, Localization and Production Manager at Nordic Games. (Of course, this was not an easy decision to make, but it reflects our own standards when it comes to gaming more than in single bits and pieces, and this way the gamer will benefit from a comprehensive gaming experience.)

Demons Of The Past is the final in the endearing SpellForce 2 series and like its earlier incarnations is a mix between an RPG and RTS that puts players right at the centre of the mysterious and wonderful SpellForce universe. Demons Of The Past adds five new maps, offering eight in total to explore.

Continuing the story from previous add-on Faith In Destiny, players can now conclude their journey with Demons Of The Past where the fate of Eo rests in the players’ hands. Along the way players will meet old and new faces will they be of help or hindrance?

SpellForce 2: Demons of the Past is out on the January 16th 2014 for PC, priced £17.99.
