Fans of mindless hacking and slashing were hoping for Titan Quest to be the second coming of Diablo last year, but things didn't turn out that great for Iron Lore's action-RPG. Nevertheless, it was a good enough game to deserve an expansion pack, which as of now is Gold and ready for shipping in early March. Publisher THQ announced today that Titan Quest: Immortal Throne is entering manufacturing, and it should be available worldwide on March 5.
Titan Quest: Immortal Throne promises to bring an all-new level of action to the original game, with new quests, items and classes set within the richly-detailed underworld of Hades. Commenting on their achievement, Iron Lore president and lead designer Brian Sullivan (co-creator of the Age of Empires strategy series) had this to say:
"Titan Quest: Immortal Throne adds a new level of immersion and depth to the franchise, allowing players to delve deep into the Hades underworld. With a myriad of new class and skill combinations, and over a dozen hours of exciting story-driven content to explore, newcomers and die-hard fans alike will enjoy groundbreaking RPG action." Titan Quest: Immortal Throne features a rich, original storyline with more than 12 hours of single-player content per difficulty level. New game-play features include an all-new skill mastery that combines with existing masteries to form eight new playable character classes. The expansion also adds dozens of terrifying new monsters, hundreds of unique weapons and an additional 10 levels of character and skill development.
In this epic quest of good versus evil, players will encounter the greatest villains of Greek mythology, brave the attacks of Cerberus, and hazard the banks of the River Styx. Along with new foes, players will fight alongside Agamemnon and Achilles, interpret the prophecies of the blind seer Tiresias, and use the wiles of Odysseus to conquer this dark new adventure.
So says the PR'ophecy.
