The beautiful co-op multiplayer role-playing game The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes by Random Potion and Wild River Games will be released for PC (via Steam) today. Starting at 5 p.m. GMT, brave adventurers can enter the underworlds of the Aventurian Middle Realm to find their fortune – or their doom. Whether Knight, Wizard or Blessed One: Only the bravest, most cunning and strongest will return.
In The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes, players develop their own characters with an individual story and experience adventures in compact gaming sessions with groups of up to four people. The gameplay is based on the rules of the classic role-playing game The Dark Eye and was developed with the IP holding publisher Ulisses. Thus players experience an adventure that feels just like real pen & paper game while they’re in the universe of one of the most famous and traditional role-playing games of all time.
The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes is available in German and English on Steam for 29.99 EUR / 24.99 GBP. Russian and Korean language versions will also be available by the end of June.
“Our game is the result of an intense collaboration between the developer Random Potion, the licensor Ulisses and Wild River Games – I have to thank our partners and my team, who all have worked hard to make Book of Heroes such a great game,” says Marc Wardenga, Managing Director of Wild River Games GmbH.
“This game is close to our hearts – we are very happy to finally present Book of Heroes to the fans. I’m curious about the stories they will experience,” says Kirsi Rossi, CEO of the Random Potion development studio.
