Spacetime Studios, creators of the free-to-play multi-platform MMOs Pocket Legends and Star Legends have got a new title to announce. Dark Legends will put a vampiric spin on the previous two Legends games.
Set in the horror-themed environment of werewolves, zombies, demons, and vampire hunters, players will take control of recently-sired vampires in a world where their race’s existence has been brought to light. Of course, the humans are upset about this and want to destroy the vampire population. Meanwhile, the rest of the undead world will be challenging the vampires as well. Sounds like a full plate for the blood-suckers.
The style and format of the game will most likely be similar to its predecessors, though Spacetime CEO Gary Gattis promises a new spin. “Dark Legends is a quantum leap forward in interactive storytelling,” said Gattis in reference to the other Legends games. This new title will bring with it a deeper narrative along with faster-paced, more varied combat.
Like Pocket and Star Legends, the new title will not only be available on Android, iOS, and Google Chrome, but will be seamlessly playable across these different platforms. According to Spacetime Studios, Dark Legends is set for release sometime in the first quarter of 2012. Before that happens, though, fans will get a sneak peek of it at this year’s GDC.
Though it has yet to be stated, if Dark Legends follows the usual Legends model, it will be free to download and play, with in-game purchasable content. If all goes as planned, the new game will add to the 7 million (plus) downloads that Star and Pocket Legends have racked up.
