The game SpellForce 2: Dragon Storm, published by Aspyr / JoWood Productions and developed by Phenomic Game Development, is the sequel to SpellForce 2: Shadow Wars. In this expansion, a new saga is formed as new creatures, beings, and magic long thought lost have returned, for better or worse. The story is a worthy continuation of the main game.

The magical portals which link the shattered islands of Eo, are losing their powers. The Shaikan, while enroute to save the portals, discover the ruins of an ancient civilization that once held the secrets of incredible beings known as "The Shapers". The ancient war, which had brought an end to The Shapers' dominion, left only two survivors. Both beings were in stasis but now one of them has been awakened. His power now poses a threat to Eo like no other enemy before. However, salvation comes from another ancient creature long though lost in the annals of time, the dragons.

The game is expected to be released Q1 this year. Check out the screenshots and see if it's your cup of tea.

    

By this time, all you SpellForce fanatics are already done with SpellForce 2: Shadow Wars which was released May of last year. And not to worry, Aspyr is well aware of that. Why else do you think they're now gearing up to release SpellForce 2: Dragon Storm?

For those not in the know, Dragon Storm is the upcoming expansion pack for the JoWood Productions-developed RTS for the PC. Featuring an expanded skill tree which offers the new Shaikan section for an even more customized hero development, you'll be casting spells left and right with your in-game avatars that have your own personal flavor. The expansion pack also includes hundreds (yes, hundreds) of new equipment items and new multiplayer maps.

Dragon Storm is slated for a late March release for the SRP of US$ $19.99 and requires the full version of SpellForce 2: Shadow Wars in order to be played. On to the screens!

   

SpellForce fans rejoice! The next adventure to the Islands of Eo is close at hand. SpellForce 2: Dragon Storm would be brought to us by the joint efforts of JoWood Productions and Koch Media.

SpellForce 2: Dragon Storm is an RPG mixed with RTS elements. The Islands of Eo are well... islands and the only thing connecting them are the portals. The portals are weakening so the hero, a Shaikan, is sent to a dangerous mission to keep the portals alive. The Shaikan discovers the powerful ancient civilization called the Shapers. One of the last two surviving Shapers has awakened from a Sleeping Beauty sort of nap and is now considered a threat to Eo.

Along with that discovery comes the dragons. With their mixed sort of PR, dragons could either be good or evil - pretty much depends on which side you're on. Anyway, SpellForce 2: Dragon Storm boasts of more than 30 hours of gameplay, extended RPG gameplay with quests to unlock additional abilities, control the Shaikan faction on RTS gameplay, and more hero development. Additional features include: unit upgrades, summoning magic to conjure animals, hundreds of items plus players can create crafted set items, new maps for multiplayer mode, and skirmish mode at the Fortress of Decision.

SpellForce 2: Dragon Storm will hit the shelves in late March 2007. In the meanwhile, check out these screenshots.
