According to Eurogamer, Koch Media’s Sacred 2: Fallen Angel won’t be making an appearance on consoles till Q1 2009. The PC version is still down for release on November 7.
No reason has been given for the delay, but the presence of weighty role-playing game competition may be a contributing factor. Were they to launch in the next couple of weeks, the PlayStation 3 version would find itself head-to-head with the intimidating Fallout 3, while its Xbox 360 counterpart would run slapbang into Fable 2.
Sacred 2, in case you didn’t know, is an action-RPG set in a fantasy world populated by Elves, cyborg dog things and tree women. There are six playable classes, 22 square miles of streaming terrain, mounts and sir’s choice of Light or Dark campaign paths. Metal band Blind Guardian provided the game’s title song.
