There lies the mysterious Arcanum Laboratory – a long since abandoned place known for its ruthless and immoral magical experiments. One of those experiments conducted by the Tholean mages involved the baneful energy named Chromaton. It is believed that it has the power to bring inanimate metal to life, but the mages failed to consider the dangers in bringing the unrefined essence into contact with their own living flesh. Perhaps they succeeded, perhaps they failed miserably. The outcome has never been chronicled…until now. Features

• The Tholean Arcanum – Enter the Arcanum Laboratory, a new place that’s challenging you to solve puzzles, complete quests and gather intel about the remnants of the contested experiments executed in the latter days of Thole. Unleash the tortured spirits of the Tholean mages and follow their trail through the shadows to finally unveil their sinister intentions.
• Living Metal – Assemble the missing pieces of the Chromaton Heart and breathe life into the Chromaton Golem’s metallic flesh: a powerful, all-new puppet with devastating skills.
• A New Life – start from scratch once again and acquire the Chromaton Golem’s soul or head back to Thole with your existing soul companions to add this puppet to your party.

http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/585450/extras/shadowslogo.gif.jpg?t=1502974781 New tactical action RPG coming to PC, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One, set for full debut at Gamescom 2017 Following on from the teaser released last week, Kalypso Media is excited to announce Shadows: Awakening, a new action RPG with real-time tactical combat that heralds the return of the Heretic Kingdoms saga. In this dark fantasy adventure, players will assume control of the Devourer – a feared demon summoned from the world of Shadow that possesses the ability to absorb the memories and personalities of acquired souls and materialize them as their puppets in the world of mortals. By combining the powers and abilities of these vanquished warriors, players will embark on a vast 40+ hour adventure across two very different worlds, engaging in action-packed real-time tactical combat, as well as tackling challenging puzzles, collecting valuable loot and equipment, and completing a wide variety of quests. But be warned – consuming so many powerful souls has a cost – such strong personalities cannot easily be supressed, and players will have to manage the relationships with the voices in their head as they struggle to maintain their identity. Shadows: Awakening heralds the continuation of the Heretic Kingdoms saga, last seen in Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms. Long-time fans and legacy players of the PC version will remember that the long-awaited ‘Book 2’ sequel never materialized. Kalypso Media and Games Farm are therefore excited to reveal that Shadows: Awakening will not only bring the story of ‘Book 2’ to life, but will also combine it with the original storyline, making Shadows: Awakening not a sequel, but a full and completed experience; improved and re-worked to take full advantage of today’s console and PC technology. Additionally, owners of the original Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms will no doubt remember that they were promised ‘Book 2’ free of charge. Kalypso Media and Games Farm are happy to confirm that they will uphold their promise to reward these long-time fans – with all owners of the Steam and GOG versions of Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms eligible to receive Shadows: Awakening as an update to their existing game, completely free of charge. To celebrate the announcement of Shadows: Awakening, Kalypso Media is pleased to share a full gameplay trailer to give players an idea of what awaits them in the shadows… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l55WxVaT9_U&utm_source=Kalypso+Media+Group+Internal&utm_campaign=7902b0037f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_08_17&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_148967423f-7902b0037f-308076913 About Shadows: Awakening Shadows: Awakening is the new adventure in the Heretic Kingdoms saga.
