THQ Nordic and Grimlore Games have confirmed that RTS/RPG hybrid Spellforce III Reforced will launch for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4 on December 7. The story takes place before the acclaimed SpellForce: The Order of Dawn. Pre-order the game on the Microsoft Store today!

SpellForce III Reforced is a unique mix of an epic RPG storyline blended with accessible real-time strategy elements, designed to offer a riveting console experience to fans and newcomers alike.

It is the year 518. The rebellion of the renegade mages, known as the Mage Wars, has been quashed by the Crown. However, it was a Pyrrhic victory: Whole regions have fallen into anarchy, refugees roam the lands in search of shelter, and a mysterious, deadly plague called the “Bloodburn” has arisen and is spreading rapidly.

In times like these people cling to any sign of hope they can find. The Purity of Light, led by a charismatic man called Rondar Lacaine, claims that mages are the source of all misfortune – and that only the second coming of Aonir, the father of all gods, will return Eo to its former splendor.

Experience SpellForce III Reforced on Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5, for the first time in the history on December 7.
