Chronicles of Spellborn : Release date announced for The Chronicles of Spellborn

By: Shawn Schuster   Sep 19, 2008 06:00:00 PM     News Item: 5324

Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, Business models, Events, real-world, Launches, MMO industry, New titles, Chronicles of Spellborn

The Chronicles of Spellborn developers Spellborn NV and publisher Frogster have just announced that the eagerly-awaited fantasy MMO will be hit retail release on November 27th, 2008 in Europe. This includes the German, English and French versions of the game. In preparation for this release date, Spellborn has entered into the next phase of closed beta and introduced a large content patch on this last Wednesday, September 17th.

If you've not been following The Chronicles of Spellborn, this would be a good time to see what the game has to offer. Set in a post-apocalyptic fantasy setting, the game uses the Unreal Engine to create an "authentic living world" for players to enjoy. Check out their forums for information on the beta and more details on the game's upcoming launch.

Chronicles of Spellborn : PVP details revealed for The Chronicles of Spellborn

By: Shawn Schuster   Sep 16, 2008 04:00:00 PM     News Item: 5267

Filed under: Fantasy, Game mechanics, MMO industry, New titles, PvP, Chronicles of Spellborn


The Chronicles of Spellborn is approaching its release date and we have a bit of news regarding how the PvP servers will work, and the Fame system they have in place. As noted by a recent press release, all regions will be enabled for PvP except Hawksmouth, Aldenvault and the major cities. There will also be special PvP caves within the safe zones on all servers for low level PvP.

The Fame system will work much like experience in other MMOs. You can not only gain it by questing or aiding others in their quests, but the amount of Fame your character is awarded from killing enemies has increased. They decided to make this change so that players don't need to rely solely on questing to level their characters.

Chronicles of Spellborn : Chronicles of Spellborn Adds PvP and Changes to Fame

By: Medeor   Sep 12, 2008 05:33:45 PM     News Item: 5175

PvP servers make a comeback at Chronicles of Spellborn

Previously unannounced, Chronicles of Spellborn is in fact going to include PvP servers to "make Player-versus-Player combat an integral part of the game." While there will still be areas that are not PvP enabled (like starting areas) all regions will be PvP enabled. The PvP aspect of the game is taking on more importance as killing hostile humanoids will significantly increase the amount of fame (traditionally known as experience) rewarded. Animal NPCs have also had their fame reward increased substantially according to the press release. What was once trivial fame for killing mobs, is now significant and can be enhanced when grouped up with a friend.

For more information about the changes, stop by The Chronicles of Spellborn and check out the recently updated FAQ.

Chronicles of Spellborn : Acclaim to publish The Chronicles of Spellborn in North America

By: Samuel Axon   Aug 26, 2008 10:00:00 AM     News Item: 4177

Filed under: Fantasy, MMO industry, New titles, News items, Chronicles of Spellborn

Action-oriented MMORPG The Chronicles of Spellborn has found a publisher in Acclaim Games, the MMO-focused reincarnation of now-defunct Acclaim Entertainment. The company was founded by former Activision CEO Howard Marks, who bought the brand name from the original Acclaim after it crashed and burned in 2004.

David Perry -- Chief Creative Officer of Acclaim Games -- published a letter to the Spellborn community announcing the deal. In it, he talks up the game and the dev team behind it, saying that they immediately stood out to him and the other folks at Acclaim. We'll assume that Acclaim was the company that wrote the letter of intent way back in April, but who can say for sure?

Spellborn had already landed a publishing deal for Europe and Asia with Frogster Interactive. Last we heard the game was due out by the end of 2008, but we're not super-confident about it. Spellborn is still in its closed beta testing phase at the moment.

Chronicles of Spellborn : Peruse the history of the Chronicles of Spellborn

By: Akela Talamasca   Jul 22, 2008 03:00:00 PM     News Item: 4248

Filed under: Fantasy, Screenshots, Culture, Lore, New titles, Chronicles of Spellborn


Following on the heels of the first part of the timeline, this second chapter in the history of the Chronicles of Spellborn brings things further into the present. Known as "Death's Dream", the period following "The Great Collapse", this era is delineated by the fragments of the Ancestor World:

"To most scholars it is unknown what has happened in this period. Some of them are not even convinced it lasted a full 500 years. What is known is that the remnants of the world - the various Shards and Fragments - are covered in Undying Ice during this period and that all survivors of the Great Collapse are frozen in time, trapped within a deep slumber."

And what's further known is that the Chronicles of Spellborn just keeps looking better and better the more we learn of it.

[Thanks, Katrina!]

Chronicles of Spellborn : Frogster will drown you in new MMOs ... if you live in Europe

By: Brenda Holloway   Jul 22, 2008 10:30:00 AM     News Item: 4247

Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, Historical, Real life, Sports, Galleries, Expansions, New titles, News items, Free-to-play, Chronicles of Spellborn, Casual, Stone Age 2, Bounty Bay Online, Runes of Magic


Frogster, noted European and Asian MMO publisher, has released a flying voidship-load of information about their upcoming MMOs for the European market.

Long awaited fantasy MMO The Chronicles of Spellborn is still due out late this year, with open beta to begin in October. We've been following this game closely for some time, but it looks like the rumored US publisher (given their prior relationship, perhaps Aeria Games) is not yet ready to announce North American release dates for the game. The World of Warcraft-ish Asian Import Runes of Magic, newly rescored and tuned toward Western tastes, will enter closed beta in September, for a European release about two months later. Isometric pet-raising, caveman-themed MMO StoneAge 2, already in open beta in North America, will be entering European closed beta in August ahead of a fall release. Next week, Frogster will release more information on its latest MMO, soccer-themed Kickster (formerly Kick Off). And they want us to keep an eye out for an expansion to the Bounty Bay Online pirate MMO.

Assuming you live in Europe, which ones should you particularly keep your eye on? If you bought a Gameboy just to play Pokemon, you might really enjoy StoneAge 2. If a subscription fee is keeping you from playing World of Warcraft, Runes of Magic might just be different enough to get you interested, and it will be free to play. If you liked Age of Conan's innovative combat system but couldn't get into the world of Hyboria, Spellborn's unique setting and combat system combined with its lush visuals might sell you.

Check out screenshots from each of these games in the gallery below.

Chronicles of Spellborn : More beta screenshots from Chronicles of Spellborn

By: Brenda Holloway   May 19, 2008 01:00:00 PM     News Item: 4246

Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, Game mechanics, New titles, Chronicles of Spellborn


The team at Spellborn NV continues to entice with its latest screenshots from its closed beta for The Chronicles of Spellborn. These depict various cities and other places on the Shards of Parliament and Quarterstone, as well as some of the creatures who will be more than glad to help you test your skill at bleeding. After looking at the new screenshots, forum regulars wondered if the landscapes are too empty and flat when compared to World of Warcraft's lush richness.

Spellborn NV recently showed the game at the RPC Münster role-playing convention, where players reportedly loved the character creation system and combat systems best. Similarly to NCSoft's City of Heroes, the gear and outfits worn by Spellborn characters don't affect the gameplay -- you can look however you wish and still fight at your best. The Spellborn combat system is similar to first person shooters and Age of Conan in that you don't target anything specifically; if something is in range of your attacks, it will be hit. It also is uniquely based on a grid on which you arrange your possible attacks that moves to allow you to use different sets of all your abilities as the fight moves on, adding a "deck building" element to battle.

No news on the identity of the publisher with whom they signed a letter of intent to publish the game in North America, or whether we will still see The Chronicles of Spellborn this year. In a year that has seen Age of Conan and will likely see Warhammer Online and the next World of Warcraft expansion, Spellborn will have to work doubly hard to get a share of gamers' time and money.

Chronicles of Spellborn : Of the Spellborn PC, personal experience points, and adventure!

By: Brenda Holloway   Apr 24, 2008 05:00:00 PM     News Item: 4245

Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, Launches, New titles, Chronicles of Spellborn


There's been a lot of talk recently about special collector's editions. Are they really worth the money? Chronicles of Spellborn may have just made the ultimate deal here. For about 1200 Teuros (about two grand in US dollars), they've teamed up with Ultraforce to sell you a game and the custom gaming rig on which to play it. You just can't beat a deal like this. A highly anticipated MMO and a speedy Core2 Duo processor, twin GeForce 9600s SLI on an nForce 750i motherboard and custom Spellborn case art... No idea whether it comes with a three day head start, though, and we can hope those aren't the minimum system specs to play the game.

We've been seeing a lot of beta screen shots out of Spellborn, but there's been too many shots showing static scenes with perhaps a person standing in them but precious little action. The beta testers finally came through for us with a dozen adventuring screen shots and there is plenty of action to be seen. The screen shot above showcases how different the characters you create can look -- the woman in front is gray-haired and chunky but still looks good in her steel-and-silk bikini. She doesn't have to run fast; just faster than the doomed, thin girl lagging behind.

Spellborn is currently due to release world-wide in Q4 2008. They'll have some tough competition. The Spellborn devs just (like, a minute ago) put up a new beta video showing off their Personal Experience Point system. The PEPs are gained through PvE and grant permanent buffs to your character ... provided you don't die. Good stuff, and you can be one of the first to see it! Click on through to watch the video below the cut.

Chronicles of Spellborn : Chronicles of Spellborn gets US Publisher

By: Brenda Holloway   Apr 11, 2008 01:00:00 PM     News Item: 4244

Filed under: Betas, Fantasy, Launches, New titles, News items, Chronicles of Spellborn


Seems like just yesterday we were wondering if The Chronicles of Spellborn would ever see US shores. Some kind spirit must have heard us, for today comes news that a US publisher has signed a letter of intent to publish this rather unique fantasy MMO on this side of the Atlantic. Spellborn International and its European/Asian publisher, Frogster, have decided to push the release date of the game from Q2 '08 (ie, Real Soon) to Q3 '08 (ie, when Warhammer Online and the new World of Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, ship). The reason given for the delay is polish and time for the US publisher to work on marketing the game. Polish. That used to be such a kind word. Polished games are nice, but "fun" is an even better one.

Given the rather empty looking world they have been showing us, this extra time should certainly allow them to jam it full of goodness. With any luck at all, we'll be flying through the Deadspell Storm in our golden shardships, on our way to represent our Houses in Parliament. Now that it appears we'll be seeing this game in North America after all, what better time to learn more about the world of Spellborn through the Spellborn Scrolls? The Scrolls are an interactive text adventure that introduces you to the people and places of the game and is a pretty darn unique way to get the feel for the lore.

[Thanks, Garold!]
