Berlin, 2008-07-14: The fragmented gameworld of The Chronicles of Spellborn, split up in plenty of rocks and shards floating through the Deadspell Storm, is the result of a long chain of cataclysmic events and almost forgotten stories. In a new series of features, the Dutch developer Spellborn NV reveals the most important key moments of the multi-layered lore to be explored within the game. From the Great Collapse dating back thousands of years in the past to the present New Century players will enter, the featurette introduces the fascinating background story in brief. Each week, Spellborn will present a new chapter of the timeline from now on, accompanied by concept arts and details on the main events of said period. It’s first part just went online on www.tcos.com.
After an intensive development and test phase, there’s much more to come in terms of regular news and images of The Chronicles of Spellborn from now on. The official website will be relaunched shortly and details about the attendance at the Games Convention in late August will follow soon.
