Ossian Studios Inc., founded by former BioWare producer and developer of top-quality role-playing games (RPGs), announced today that The Shadow Sun is coming soon to Android devices.  Rendered in full 3D graphics using the Unity engine, The Shadow Sun offers a deep, single-player role-playing experience with over 10 hours of gameplay through a gripping, dark fantasy story with different outcomes based on the choices you make, and intense visceral combat against the many wicked creatures of Shar.

(With The Shadow Sun, our goal was to make a high quality RPG for mobile devices in the spirit of the classics from PC and console, and we are thrilled to bring the game to Android gamers,) said Alan Miranda, CEO of Ossian Studios.

About Ossian Studios® Inc.
Founded in 2003 by former BioWare producer Alan Miranda, Ossian Studios develops top-quality RPGs with a focus on story, role-playing, and exploration. Ossian Studios’ notable titles include The Shadow Sun, Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate, and Neverwinter Nights: Darkness over Daggerford. Miranda cemented his development prowess during his time at BioWare, where he was the producer on Baldur’s Gate II: Throne of Bhaal and associate producer on Neverwinter Nights, and has since brought those skills to Ossian Studios.

I have yet to play both The Shadow Sun and Mysteries of Westgate (Ossian’s Neverwinter Nights 2 premium module), but I greatly enjoyed Darkness over Daggerford back when I used to play a lot of Neverwinter Nights mods, so I’m interested to see how The Shadow Sun turned out now that it’s being released for Android devices.
