A New Game from Sins' Ironclad?

[Scott Tortorice]

Ironclad, the geniuses behind Sins of a Solar Empire, have unveiled a cryptic new website:

What could it be?!? If you look closely, there is a faint dragon in the background. A fantasy game from the folks behind Sins? Could be as Ironclad has often mentioned a desire to make a fantasy game once Sins was completed.

Ten days to go....

So did you sign up for the newsletter? Not only does it look like a ghost dragon image but looking closely at the bottom it looks like words(maybe, my eyes are bad).

 

[Scott Tortorice]

Yeah, signed up. And you're right about the words, but I can't make them out. And I think the "dragon" might be an eagle or a griffin.

 

[prymus]

Agree, though if a eagle would be a highly stylized eagle. Could be any of the three though.

Sounds like a DOTA type of game to me. Rats. I was hoping for a SP fantasy strategy game.

Again, not a fan of MOBA games. Even less of a fan of games that have a commander mode - nothing creates more acrimony in a MP game than a commander mode. But this being Ironclad, I'll wait and see.

Is this a bandwagon game?
