“We will be releasing some exclusive assets earlier on our Facebook page over the next few weeks“, says Manuel Karl, Community Manager JoWooD. “Fans on our page will get a sneak preview and can provide me with direct feedback or ask me any questions they have. Experiencing the story from the point of view of up to four of your allies makes it an exciting experience and has already caused many fans to get intrigued by the Add-On.”

Here’s some info on the game released by the devs:

“A new threat casts its shadow over the Southern Isles. A mysterious demon, consumed by hatred, terrifies the population and pools his force against the coastal city of Setarrif. The dramatic situation exacerbates after a volcanic eruption in the mountains nearby. The nameless hero joins forces with his strongest allies and courageously faces the new menace.”
