THQ Nordic has released a new trailer for RTS RPG hybrid SpellForce III: Reforced ahead of its console debut next week.
The game had originally intended to launch on consoles alongside the Reforced PC update back in December. However, developer Grimlore Games declared the game needed a little more time in the oven and delayed the release first to March, then once more to June. Now, it looks like it’s finally ready, complete with bespoke controls and UI, for the box under your telly.
In case you’re not familiar with SpellForce‘s blend of RPG and RTS mechanics, the latest trailer should give you a good idea. You’ll create and control a singular hero who also commands an army across a rich world, set before the first game, 2009’s SpellForce: The Order at Dawn. Naturally, you’ll be able to pick skills from a skill tree, meet a diverse cast and lead your army to victory.
You can look forward to a 30 hour campaign either on your own or with a friend in co-op mode. If you prefer something more adversarial, then there’s also online battle modes to face off with other players. Other modes include Skirmish, Arena, Campaign, Journey and more. You can check out the nuances between some of these modes in the trailer below.
SpellForce III: Reforced arrives on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on June 7, 2022.
