Kalypso Media has released some new screens for their upcoming action-RPG Demonicon.  The game,whose title sounds like the name of some convention, is set in the universe of "The Dark Eye", "a richly crafted fantasy world beloved by fantasy gamers throughout the world".  To be honest, I've never heard of "The Dark Eye" until now, but the screens look pretty good.

Enter the Darkness with New Demonicon Screens

Ridgewood, NJ, March 14, 2012- In the world of Demonicon, there is only darkness and the gray line that divides man from demons. Today, Kalypso Media is pleased to release new screenshots which illustrate the darkness that permeates the world of Demonicon, the action-RPG set for release on PC and next-generation consoles in Q1 2013. Download the new screenshot pack for a look into a world where heroes are few and far between, and the line between good and evil is razor thin.

Demonicon is a thrilling action-RPG set in the extraordinarily popular universe of “The Dark Eye”, a richly crafted fantasy world beloved by fantasy gamers throughout the world.

Demonicon tells the tragic story of a brother and sister who become pawns of sinister forces in a world of cruelty and depravity. In this bleak yet magical world, their affection is both a blessing and a curse. Both are constantly threatened by mortal danger and demonic temptation, and must find a way through their tortured lives by facing serious moral decisions. Their common destiny will determine that of the entire continent, and will be decided by the choices they make. Hordes of fiends block their way to freedom and peace, and only through battle and magic they will truly become free of the darkness.
