Let's start out by talking about what Sacred 3 is not. That is to say, it's not an open-world loot-driven adventure like its predecessors. As its original developer, Ascaron Entertainment is no more, newcomer Keen Games decided to make an arcade-style game, much like Gauntlet Legends (or Dark Legacy). If you're coming into this thinking...]]>
At this point in the game's production, some may argue that a gameplay trailer would serve Sacred 3 better, especially since we've seen one before, but maybe that style will be reserved for a future launch trailer. Regardless, the trailer showcases the fun players can have while working together. Sure, it's great to take down enemies together, but it's also great to see who came out on top during the battle.

Boom. There you go. Two months from now you could be diving into a horde of fire-breathing devil oxen or whatever, carving your way to victory. That's what you came here for, right? Right.
Editor's note: The release date has been moved to August 5.
Accompanying this announcement is a new CG trailer, featuring some pretty crazy fantasy hijinks and a girl with wings.
Sacred 2: Fallen Angel was a co-op darling around the Co-Optimus community. The Action/RPG provided a rich campaign with plenty of character classes, loot, and a variety of massive environments to experience it in. The game did well critically and most likely financially, so there's no surprise that a sequel is in the works. We sat in for a live co-op demo of Sacred 3 at PAX this past weekend and came away quite surprised as to where the series appears to be heading.
