Crate Entertainment –a developer consisting of ex Iron Lore employees – has announced a new RPG called Grim Dawn.<\/p>\n
The developers are calling GrimDawn the “spirital successor to Titan Quest and proud Diablo-clone.” Titan Quest very well received when it was released in 2006. Despite gameplay that was closely based on Blizzard’s iconic Diablo franchise, the game was praised for its addictive nature.<\/p>\n
The game boasts 200 character levels, the ability to craft blueprints and a “refined loot system” that will drop “less junk.”<\/p>\n
One of the more interesting aspects of the project is the manner in which it is being funded. Crate is pre-selling the game, and hopes to privately fund the entire project. Players can purchase the normal edition for $20, or the “Legendary Fan Edition” for $48. The Legendary Fan edition will include alpha and beta access, an in game item and a place in the credits.<\/p>\n
The game is planned for a digital release in early 2011. <\/p>\n
