SpellForce III: Fallen God – Standalone Expansion Announced

Grimlore Games and THQ Nordic have announced the second standalone expansion for their RTS/RPG hybrid SpellForce III. Entitled Fallen God, the expansion will be launching later this year. Its main attraction is the new playable Troll faction that you’ll be able to play both during the new single-player campaign and online. Here’s the announcement trailer:

And the official description:

Your dwindling, nomadic tribe of trolls has just one goal: survival. Plagued by vicious poachers for your precious tusks and weakened by disease, hope is almost lost – until an enigmatic Elven stranger offers you, the young chieftain Akrog, a path to salvation: you must resurrect a fallen god.
