From the makers of Spellforce 3....

Spellforce has been rather great lately, so I like the choice to let them develop Titan Quest 2. They know a thing or two about depth and classes. It seems like a great pairing to me. They're no Crate Entertainment, but I think they can do this justice. We'll just have to see.

Yeah, was hoping from the makers of Grim Dawn but let's hope.

Spellforce 3 and it's DLCs have been amazing. They really knocked SF3 out of the park. It's a shame it didn't get the hype or attention it deserves. The world is ridiculously beautiful and the gameplay is superb.

Not likely to happen as they don't own the TQ IP.

To be honest I'm glad it's not Crate Entertainment, considering how -meh- is their latest game, Farthest Frontier, which was my biggest hype in 2022 and turned into my biggest disappointment.

Spellforce 3 devs is an interesting and refreshing choice !

That’s not really a fair judgement. Farthest Frontier is actually doing quite well and the reviews are very positive. It’s unfortunate that you didn’t get what you wanted out of it, but Crate wanted to do something different.

Crate knows how to make an aRPG better than anyone and they support their games for many years, so I’d never have any doubts about them making a new aRPG. I’m sure they’ll be making Grim Dawn 2 in a few years.

unfortunately, they won't. they've stated that the only work on GD2 so far is words on paper and it will be a minimum of 10 years before it happens, if it ever happens. they are burned out on arpgs and focusing on other genres.

I said I think they'll be/start making it in a few years. Things change all the time, so we'll see what happens.

We can only benefit from having both options. My take is if Crate would be making this then there would be a very likely chance for GD2 to even be talked about. I am not sure if Grimlore would make the game competitive though.

I just hope it has all the old customization systems in place and more added on top.
Not streamline the whole thing.

Spellforce 3 was great, im looking fwd to this.

My only concern is if like every western game nowadays theyre gonna be disrespectful towards greek mythology and make greeks and creatures diverse or some other nonsense.

Indeed. From the makers of Spellforce 3, to be more specific.

I guess the guys who made Eternal embers got shafted then? A shame. Really liked the work they did, especially post-launch.

i will be sceptical - performace of spellforce 3 was not great, but what was most disappointing was MOST STUPID UI (user interface ) i ever saw in video game.

It wasnt good RTS game, (even after update/rework) (they should make more like Age of Mythology) and RPG - i relly dont cared about skill tree and wepons was too much nothing special in all crates looked the same, they should make some items look bad and some special items look bad ass good so see from inverntory this weapons something special ....

Make ui more PC orient and tweakable.


Also dont put stupid agenda in story/lore (still remember constant complaining from characters.. "It is really neccesary?" or just depressed voiceovers,,,, it really degraded immersion...)

Digital Arrow, yes, and rightfully so I think. I wouldn't say they got shafted. It's not like they had any rights to it, they just made an expansion because they were allowed to. Eternal Embers didn't sit too well with most fans and DA hasn't really made anything above mediocre quality, let alone any full scale games, nor have they built any mentionable game on their own.

Pieces Interactive did Ragnarok and Atlantis. Ragnarok is the best of the three expansions. They're currently working on the new Alone in the Dark though and they have a pretty good track record. I'd still rather go with Grimlore. They have the high quality art style nailed down and hopefully the gameplay. They have TQ1 to build off of, so they can't get too far off from those systems. I'll trust them for now. What little we've seen looks great so far.
