More On: SACRED 2 - Fallen Angel
It looks like Sacred 2:Fallen Angel is no longer an Xbox 360/PC exclusive as Ascaron announced today that they will be bringing the game to the PlayStation 3 this fall.  The PS3 version is getting enhanced graphics, Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound, and drop-in co-op play both over PSN and split screen.  Ascaron is claiming that the controls nad interface have been rebuilt from the ground up for the PS3 but we'll have to see about that when the game is released this fall.
