Paradox Interactive has recently announced that a Majesty spin-off title is currently in the works and planned for a 2012 launch. Titled Warlock – Master of the Arcane, the game will be developed by Inc-Co; set in the fantasy realm of Ardania, players will assume the role of a Great Mage, capable of using their magical powers to summon armies and build vast empires.
Best known for their simulation and grand strategy titles, Paradox and Inc Co are following a slightly different direction with Warlock, presenting an accessible, modernised turn-based strategy game as producer Mattias Lilja says:
The great thing about Warlock is that it inherits the best elements from classic turn-based games and renovates them with a modern look and feel… Partnering with Ino-Co Plus to bring this breath of fresh air to the genre is just icing on the cake, they’ve done well to bring the Majesty world to life in the past and we are confident they’ll deliver again.
Master of the Arcane is due to launch in Q2 2012.
