'Drakensang: The Dark Eye' Gets Epic Soundtrack

by Rainier on Sept. 12, 2006 @ 4:58 a.m. PDT

Drakensang brings back epic party-based RPG gameplay in a breathtakingly detailed world, based on one of the world's biggest pen & paper franchises. With incredible eye for detail, the world of Aventuria comes alive on the PC in state-of-the-art 3D graphics that bring to life the epic vistas and stunning variety of this one-of-a-kind fantasy world.

“It is supremely important to us to capture the unique “The Dark Eye” atmosphere in the soundtrack as well – we are aware of the huge role music plays in establishing a game’s atmosphere. The old “Realms of Arkania” PC games, which were set in the same universe, are renowned for their soundtrack, and we want gamers to get the same high quality in Drakensang. We are very happy to have been chosen for this task of capturing the special flair of this RPG brand and translating it into sound,” says Pierre Langer, Dynamedion’s Managing Director.

Drakensang is the first PC RPG set in the world of “The Dark Eye” in over 10 years and is in development at Radon Labs in Berlin, under license from Chromatrix GmbH and in cooperation with the official authors and artists from the pen&paper game. This faithful adaptation of the fantastic RPG world will give players and their avatars the chance to get to know Aventuria first-hand.
