Get up and pay attention RPG fans, SpellForce - Shadow of the Phoenix is coming to a screen near you! In what looks to be a really creative RPG, SpellForce is really going all out with this edition of the game.

Jowood and Koch Media sent out a press release announcing that SpellForce - Shadow of the Phoenix, the second fantasy 3D role-playing strategy expansion by Phenomic Game Development, will ship to retail stores in UK February 18th 2005 (L19.99). There’s no word on whether the game will be released in North America. Note: Players need to own SpellForce - The Order of Dawn or SpellForce Gold Edition to run the game.

The story of the critically acclaimed RPS (Role-Playing-Strategy) game reaches its ultimate climax with the third part of the saga set in a new continent against a background of sand covered ruins, lush oases and exotic cities. Known for its rich background world, spectacular graphics and challenging game play, SpellForce has captured gamers around the globe. The highly anticipated second Add-On from developer Phenomic and publisher JoWooD will substantially increase the tactical choices for the players with a total of twenty-four new player units and buildings as well as the possibility for their Avatar to reach level 50, adding over 40 new skills and spells for their heroes.

Following the requests of many players, the popular co-op mode will now be enhanced with quests for the group of heroes and of course new maps for both player vs. player and co-op multiplayer.
