MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- AGEIA(TM) Technologies, Inc., the pioneer in hardware-accelerated physics for games, today announced that German game developer ASCARON Entertainment GmbH will support the AGEIA PhysX(TM) processor in the sequel to its World Wide hit Sacred(TM) as well as future game titles. Based on a license agreement with AGEIA, ASCARON will use the AGEIA PhysX SDK to incorporate extensive real-time physics into its games, which players can experience with exceptional depth on PCs equipped with the AGEIA PhysX processor.

Sacred is a deep fantasy RPG where players are immersed in an epic journey through the medieval-like kingdom of Ancaria. Highly action-oriented, Sacred features pitched battles and a wide range of enticing quests. This makes it ideal for the hyper-realism delivered by the AGEIA PhysX processor, which will be available on PC add-in boards in late 2005. Sacred II is currently under development and will be published worldwide.
