Over on the official website, Spellborn has announced that The Chronicles of Spellborn MMO has been picked up by publisher Acclaim. I`ve been following the development of TCoS since I discovered the budding MMORPG, and I`m pleased to hear that Acclaim is stepping up as the North American publisher and planning to give it a fair promotion campaign. I`m also ecstatic to learn that part of the world will be free-to-play. That`s good for gamers as there`s no time limit and no surrendering your credit card information until you`re sure you`ve been irrevocably sucked in.
Truthfully what got me interested was a promotional video for TCoS made in cooperation with Spellborn by one of my favorite bands, Within Temptation. What got me hooked was the rich storyline and the wealth of information on the game offered in the dev diaries, videos and screenshots such as the latest time-line update for the game. I`m looking forward to experiencing the finished product when it comes out later this year.

Those skyships in that video were freaking rad. I hadn't seen any screenshots as of late indicating that those might come into play. They remind me of that old AD&D campaign, Spelljammer.
This one's definitely piqued my interest more than any other MMO headed this way (yeah, I'm including you, Warhammer, in that statement), if for no other reason than the fact that it looks like it's willing to go out on a limb with its particular strain of fantasy.
