Gamespot has kicked up a preview of the next Snowblind console action-RPG, Champions: Return to Arms :Earlier this year, Snowblind Studios brought the wildly popular EverQuest milieu to consoles with hack-and-slash gameplay in Champions of Norrath, a dungeon-crawling action RPG in the vein of the developer's own Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance series. Scarcely a year later, we're already considering a preview build of Champions: Return to Arms, a sequel to the original that amazingly features neither a "Norrath" nor a "2" anywhere in the title. Despite the lack of sequel markings, what we've played of Champions so far indicates that Snowblind is taking the winning framework from the first game and adding a host of interesting new features to it. |
