A video showing off Sacred 2′s Ice and Blood expansion on PC has surfaced over on CVG.

Watching it, you will become privy to the new Cursed Forest area.

The expansion adds more to the world of Ancaria with two new regions and over 30 hours of additional gameplay, but a new playable character is to be made available along with lots and lots of new enemies, items, missions, and weapons.

Cool. Go watch.

DeepSilver, a division of Koch Media, will release the upcoming add-on for the PC version of Sacred 2 on August 28 in Germany.

Titled Ice & Blood, an international release date has not been provided as of yet, and the expansion for the console version is still being planned as well and you can keep up with its progress here.

Ascaron, it closed its doors a few weeks ago due to bankruptsy, and the subsidiary company of Ascaron: Studio 2 closed shop on July 31.

Thanks, Lutz.

Exactly what it says on the tin: the PC version of Ascaron’s RPG, Sacred 2, has been patched to version 2.43.

Download it directly from Ascaron’s site and read the full patch notes over on the forums.

There’s no hint if this is on its way to consoles or not.

Get clicking.

Ascaron still owns the license to Sacred, and it was not part of the IPs that Kalypso recently purchased from the troubled company.

According to the Sacred message boards, community manager Anca Adelina Finta stated:

“Studio 2 (subsidiary company of Ascaron) has the license for Sacred 2 and the devs will continue working at the add-on as they did before. In a nutshell, the add-on is not affected by anything and will come as planned.”

Good news for fans of the series.

Thanks, BigDownload.

Some more shots of the 360 version of Sacred 2 on GameInfoWire. It’s a Bank Holiday, OK?

It’s out in June.

Eurogamer Germany has a new video of the PS3 version of Sacred 2: Fallen Angel.

It shows character customization and a tiny bit of gameplay.

Developer Ascaron recently revealed the company had entered administration, as well confirming the existence of both a Sacred 2 add-on and a full sequel.

Hit up Eurogamer for the video.

Sacred 2 developer Ascaron Entertainment filed for bankruptcy protection on April 14, reports WorthPlaying.

According to the site, delays may have attributed to the firm’s financial issues.

To try and get another company interesting in acquiring the studio, it was revealed that an add-on for Sacred 2 is scheduled for release this summer, as is a third installment.

More through the link.

The console version of Sacred 2: Fallen Angel has reached gold status, and will release on June 5 for PS3 and 360.

The PC version was released in November last year.

Sacred 2 will arrive in the states May 12.

Press release follows.

There’s a video of the high elf’s special mount in Sacred 2 after the break.

It’s blue and it floats. It has snazzy stripes on the side. It looks a bit dragony.

The Koch RPG’s out on Marh 24.

As far as PR goes, the video after the link is something of a classic. It’s about a band called Blind Guardian, and how it got involved in doing the music for Ascaron RPG Sacred 2.

Basically, the band wanted to do a game, but couldn’t. And then it could. And there was metal in Sacred 2.

Feel the passion. Simple, innit. Game’s out on March 24.

Atari has announced that it will be publishing Ascaron Entertainment’s RPG, Sacred 2, and to celebrate, they’ve unveiled firm release dates for both PC and console.

The PC version will ship November 11, not November 7 as we told you the other day. The console versions hit the shelves on February 17.

So that’s that. Thanks, Shacknews.

Ascaron’s released a demo for RPG Sacred 2, available now from FilePlanet.

Apparently, “This exciting new demo immerses gamers in the mystical world of Ancaria, as they experience a small sampling of the quests, environments and monsters that will be part of the grand adventure of the full game. Playing as the beautiful and deadly Seraphim, a powerful guardian of the world of Ancaria and its T-Energy, gamers will explore the lush lands of the High Elves, encountering a variety of creatures and environments.”

It does not get better than that. Remember that Eurogamer’s Rob Purchese does some of the voices in it. So try it.

Eurogamer news chap Rob Purchese clearly isn’t just a pretty face. As seen in this EGTV video, the writer’s done voiceover for three of Sacred 2′s characters – a jester, a little green man thing and an old chap – and his performance has pretty much knocked out the development team.

“I think Rob’s a magnificent talent,” said Ascaron’s Alan Wild. “His delivery was superb, and the range of voices was just incredible.”

Take a look. The game’s out for PC and 360 later this year, with a PS3 version following in early 2009.

After the drop. Ascaron has released a new trailer for Sacred 2 at the Games Convention in Leipzig and we reckon it looks pretty decent. The vid boasts over 500 quests and four player co-op. Impressive.

The RPG is due out on 360 and PS3 this autumn.
