AUSTIN, Texas – Nov. 13, 2012 – The world’s
largest mobile and desktop cross platform game franchise is back
and bigger than ever with
Spacetime Studios
’ release of
Arcane Legends
. The online action RPG with companion pets, launched
exclusively on Android devices and the Chrome Web Store. Tens of
thousands of players already joined during the limited release of
the game in Canada and Australia.
Arcane Legends is the fourth title in the highly popular
Legends franchise. The previous
Legends titles, fantasy
Pocket Legends, sci-fi
Star Legends, and horror
Dark Legends have been downloaded more than ten million
times.
“After three successful
Legends titles we decided it was time for us to push the
limits once again by delivering cinematic story-telling, dynamic
and fast-paced combat, and a game-changing pets system,” said
Gary Gattis, CEO, Spacetime Studios.
Arcane Legends marks Spacetime Studios’ most
ambitious and expansive product to date largely due to the
game’s innovative “Companion” system that allows
players to collect a myriad of powerful and mystical pets for use
in combat. Players will select companion pets to complement their
play style, evaluating the merits of each animal’s combat
skills and buffs. Pets level automatically as they adventure
alongside players, gaining access to new skills and abilities.
There are 36 pets available at launch with more scheduled for
future free updates.
“You’ve never played anything like this in terms of
game quality, combat depth and fun-factor,” said Cinco
Barnes, Chief Visionary Officer, Spacetime Studios, “Arcane
Legends is the ultimate mobile multiplayer experience!”
Set in the fantasy world of Arlor and beset on all sides by evil
forces, players must battle foul goblins, trolls, necromancers and
much more in their quest for glory and gold. Players help the local
townsfolk as well as a host of exotic and magical animals,
enrolling the latter to join them as battle companions.
Arcane Legends is free on Google Play and the Chrome Web
Store. It will soon launch on other platforms (including the iOS
App Store and Kindle Fire Appstore). The game features optional
microtransactions for virtual currency that enhance the play
experience in a wide variety of ways.
