Paradox Interactive has today revealed the first ever images of gameplay in Warlock 2: The Exiled, a forthcoming turn-based strategy fantasy wargame from Ino-Co Plus.
Set for release on the PC in Spring 2014, Warlock 2's magical war-gaming is revealed for the first time to eager practitioners of the dark arts in a series of spellbinding screenshots and a live stream using the sorcery of the Internet.
Here's what the deal is:
Journey back to the realm of Ardania, the land that cannot go an entire week without being conquered, and conquer it once again! Exiled to a shard from a shattered world, players of Warlock 2: The Exiled must contend with fellow exiled mages and a host of terrifying creatures. Wield ancient magic, summon even more terrifying creatures, go to war, and discover just who possesses the greatest balls of fire.
Warlock 2: The Exiled features:
Spelling Counts – Over 150 spells to add to your tome, allowing command over powerful enchantments, nasty hexes, and elemental forces
A Crass Menagerie – Hundreds of different mythical and magical beasts to deploy on the battlefield with distinct tactical uses, from giant rats and dwarven prospectors to werewolves with hats on them
Friendship is Magic – A multi-player experience as robust as the single-player experience, including PvP, Co-op PvE, and every combination in between
Warlock 2: The Playstyles – Fight your way through the shards to reclaim Ardania in new ‘Exile’ mode or dispatch opponents the old-fashioned way in ‘Sandbox’ mode.
These images will come to life during a livestream on November 26 at 8 p.m. CET (11 a.m. PST), where Paradox’s personnel will show off live gameplay on Twitch for the first time.
