Where is SPELLBORN already?

by

My constant trolling over on the Chronicles of Spellborn forums have as yet revealed no news about any North American release. They are supposed to be on the verge of open beta, and to have signed a letter of intent months ago with an unnamed US publisher (my guess, again: Aeria Games).
However, the Spellborn computer they collaborated with German PC makers Ultraforce on earlier this year, they are now releasing case-only, in case you’re not jazzed about the computer they had, but loved their case. 249 Euros, so US$384, probably closer to US$500 when all shipping and customs fees are paid, which is pretty expensive just for a case. Just not worth it to buy things from Europe when you live in the US any more.

  1. Tipa, I can’t find an e-mail address on your site. I’ve got something I want to talk to you about, so shoot me an e-mail at mmoreinsight [at] gmail.com

  2. At GDC in early February I spoke to a German gentleman at their booth and he told me that the game would be out at the end of March. When I asked, “2009?” he grew quite indignant and said he meant March of this year. Yeah.
    Now, even allowing for language issues, I’m still putting this one on the list with Hero’s Journey and Darkfall. I will believe it when I see it on the shelf at Fry’s.

  4. Fry’s and no winter are the two things I miss most about California… but yeah, these games don’t seem to be installing themselves on my computer for some reason.

  5. I really wish this would get announced. I like the aspect of combat, and want to really see it in action.
    The graphics throw me off ( I like my characters to look “awesome” and “realistic”)…but, who knows, until I see it.
    Ah well, until I hear more, I just try not to think about it
    Cheers

  7. I stopped watching out for Spellborn months ago. Last year, it was the game I wanted to play for 2008. Now I’ll wait until people have played and reviewed it.

  8. Tipa, you’re in luck! Just announced today that Acclaim will be publishing Spellborn in the US! Although considering the other games in Acclaim’s stables… hmm… not sure what that spells (ha!) for Spellborn…

  9. Acclaim??? Okay, that came out of nowhere.
    Out of all the MMO importers in the US, I think Acclaim is the least known. It was only on my radar for the David Perry thing.
    Well, good, I’m glad we have a real name for it. Now, from what I understand, all they have to do is put the fun in.
    Thanks for the heads-up 🙂
