German publisher ANACONDA and Dynamedion, a German studio with an impressive track record of soundtracks for AAA titles, have recently signed an
agreement to cooperate on the party-based role-playing game Drakensang. Work on the Drakensang soundtrack will begin in September and will continue throughout the next year.
"It is supremely important to us to capture the unique "The Dark Eye" atmosphere in the soundtrack as well - we are aware of the huge role music plays in establishing a game's atmosphere. The old "Realms of Arkania" PC games, which were set in the same universe, are renowned for their soundtrack, and we want gamers to get the same high quality in Drakensang. We are very happy to have been chosen for this task of capturing the special flair of this RPG brand and translating it into sound," said Pierre Langer, Dynamedion's Managing Director.
Drakensang is the first PC RPG set in the world of "The Dark Eye" in over 10 years, being developed at Radon Labs in Berlin, under license from Chromatrix GmbH and in cooperation with the official authors and artists from the pen&paper game. The developers' goal is to deliver a faithful adaptation of the fantastic RPG world that will give players the chance to really get to know Aventuria first-hand.
Drakensang: The Dark Eye is scheduled for release in the 4th quarter of 2007.
