Fishtank Announces Arx Fatalis

Fishtank Interactive plans to ship Arx Fatalis, a fantasy RPG based in the underworld, this November

June 21, 2001

With most developers looking to the cosmos for gaming inspiration now a days, and coming up with what seems to be the same product over and over, FishTank Interactive thought that success might be achieved through an alternative approach. Today the gaming division of Ravensburger Interactive Media announced that they would ship Arx Fatalis, a game inspired not by the realms above earth, but rather what lies beneath, in November of 2001.

Developer Arkane Studios hopes to maintain the "integrity of game design" while creating this immense fantasy world set in the subterranean realms deep beneath the earth's surface. Experience "vast underground cities and giant caverns complete with dungeons, sewers and several dark, subterranean locations" as you strive to prevent evil from infiltrating the mortal world above.
