Hi everyone!
I'm Maurice, the new CM for Deep Silver. Or to be more specific: the International Community Manager.
I only started at Deep Silver recently, so there has been a lot to catch up on. Then there was this little thing where we weren't announcing Sacred Citadel until this week, so there wasn't a whole lot I could tell you until now . I know it has been a long period of silence for the Sacred franchise in these past years, but from now on there will be more and more Sacred news to share.
For now: Sacred Citadel (for Xbox Live Arcade/PlayStation Network/PC) is not Sacred 3, Sacred 3 is not an MMO, and Sacred 3 will still be an ARPG. Both games are scheduled for 2013. Whew!
So no, Sacred 3 will not be a sidescroller MMO!
What do I do? I create plans for the community for upcoming titles, run our official forums/Facebook/Twitter, collect feedback from the fans, etc. You're always welcome to ask me anything, or PM me here on on our new (and work-in-progress) Sacred Citadel/Sacred 3 forums over on the Deep Silver forums. There's one of me for more or less all of our games, so if I don't respond within hours of your question, please know it's not that I have forgotten about it .
What don't I do? I'm not developing or producing Sacred Citadel or Sacred 3. So while you can ask me to put this or that in the game, and I collect feedback to relay to our producing team, I can't promise you they will actually put that in the games. I hope you can understand that, since these games have been in development for quite a while now.
I'll be at gamescom and PAX this month, so if you are going, don't hesitate to drop by and say hi!
