Kirii 1 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hello! I recently purchased an Xbox One S and have been enjoying some backward compatible games such as Oblivion and Red Dead Redemption and thought why the hell Sacred 2 hasn't been added yet. Loading it up on my still working PS3 was just painfully slow and ugly. (Still can't stand the screen tearing!) So I added my vote to the official feedback thread and thought this would be a good place to drum up some more votes. Head over to here and make your vote count! Link to comment

This is an awesome FYI Kiril, thanks for the post and link. I went and dutifully added my vote. great to see how many votes AND how much commentary..it's like this game's a backburner for many gamer fans... good to see!! gogo Link to comment
Kirii 1 Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 So, for some reason Microsoft did away with BC voting... and replaced it with a overly simple suggestion box. At least we got Sacred 2 up to 2,113 votes before the end! In the end I am really not sure how they choose BC titles. The voting didn't seem influence Microsoft's decision making for which titles will be released and when. I imagine it just comes down to publisher? If so Sacred 2 might be SOL. Link to comment
Aaron8956 5 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 So here's the thing, Deep Silver (Publishers of Sacred for EU) have gave me some information on this. Something from them when I asked if it was coming as BC and the NA marketplace, "I don't think there is a big chance of this title coming back to Xbox Marketplace anytime soon or as BC. Ascaron doesn't exist anymore, CDV doesn't exist anymore - it would most likely just be too complicated to untangle and renew licensing and distribution agreements for North America, if nobody is really in charge anymore. Besides, this is an old title, from a management point of view this probably also doesn't have a very high priority (if any)." Link to comment

Welcome to DarkMatters, Aaron! gogo Yep, hope is all we have but that's the thing, if this game doesn't get republished to the Xbox marketplace in North America, there is no hope because that is who and what decides if the game goes into the BC program besides Xbox if you didn't know. Sure Deep Silver could say it's okay for it to go in as BC but Xbox needs permission from the publishers of NA who don't exist. I can only think of one person who might consider maybe working out an agreement with Deep Silver and picking up the rights and that is Keen Games because they are the closest closest connection to them with Sacred games. We all know Keen Games made a game called Sacred 3... Yeah that game... what a disappointment.. If Deep Silver doesn't want to do it, who else will or can, I guess "hope" is all we have. I'm no expert on how companies can just pick up and renew rights or anything, I just know it's a complicated process. Thanks for the welcome by the way, I'm glad to part of a community who are fans of Sacred. 😃 1 Link to comment
lujate 578 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I've been sorely tempted these past few weeks to buy an old console (ps3 in my case) solely to play Sacred 2. So far, I've resisted the urge. 1 Link to comment

Most likely won't happen unless everyone requests like a Sacred 2 Remastered. They were working on a game called Unbended and then ended up canceling it. It was supposed to be just like Sacred 2. Not sure what's going to happen with Sacred 2, but there is still is a chance and that's all we can hold on to for now. Link to comment

They love FPS games, so I can't say why. These days it's D3 on Xbox 1 when we get together. Link to comment
Popular Post Rafoca 2 Posted March 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2019 gogoblender, I remember you! I guess it's from the old ascaron sacred forums! Recently sacred 2 on Xbox went on a deal on Xbox live and I thought why. I mean, I don't think this game was ever on a deal since backcompat exists on Xbox one. I bought it in the hopes it comes compatible. But after reading All this talk with deep silver I'm a bit without hope. I love this game! I think this game was very important to consoles because back in the day people said Diablo-like games would never work on controllers, and I always said to these people "have you ever played sacred 2 on Xbox?" 😁 I have fond memories of this game on Xbox. It was a nice time in my life. Lots of things going on. I had so much fun, but then ascaron went bankrupt and also a game called Project offset , which I was hyped for, was cancelled. I've always said there was a curse regarding these medieval/fantasy games, because so many of them got cancelled and this still happens today. Anyway, let's hope for sacred 2 on Xbox one 1 1 Link to comment
Aaron8956 5 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Maybe this year, maybe the next, maybe not at all but I'm still here and always will be. Keep what little hope you have left, this game needs it. I hope all of you guys are doing well and are having a great year so far. 1 Link to comment

Popular Post NicouNii 3 Posted November 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) Hi, I just want to say that Sacred 2 Finally was added to Xbox Retro Compatibility Program, I instantly bought the Physical Xbox 360 Version, but I still waiting for it to arrive. I Think it has 4K Patches(it was not clear) and the most important, the performance will be stable and hopefully the screen tearing will be reduced. Anyone here want to test it out to see the improvements? Edited November 16, 2021 by NicouNii 2 1 Link to comment
Aaron8956 5 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Wow... it's finally here, I lost all hope and ended up buying a new 360 but it's actually here! I can't wait to play it on my Xbox Series X. After all this time of waiting, I am so happy to hear the news. 1 Link to comment
