Electronic Arts just announced the availability of the sequel to the award-winning title Orcs & Elves. Orcs & Elves II is a first-person fantasy role playing game for mobile devices created by id Software and developed exclusively for EA. Orcs & Elves II drops players into the boots of a novice thief

tasked with saving his village from impending doom and introduces several new characters, quests, and weapons for fans of the series.

Orcs & Elves II for mobile handsets continues the epic story from the original game and expands the Orcs & Elves universe. In Orcs & Elves II, evil begins to spread throughout the lands after the fall of King Brahm at Mount Zharrkarag.

Gamers play as Valin, a thief who has stolen the legendary wand Ellon in order to save his imperiled town from an ancient enemy. With a new controllable mouse companion, a slew of weapons and a lot of luck, Valin must quest through perilous caverns, foreign towns and haunted forests to return to his under-siege village before it's too late. Players will encounter new creatures, allies and monsters as they explore seven immense, interactive environments taking advantage of new graphical effects, an original score, and unique game features created from the ground-up for Orcs & Elves II.

"The first Orcs & Elves game was critically acclaimed on mobile and we recently worked with id Software to bring the game to another handheld device, the Nintendo DS. The fact that this series has transcended mobile devices says something about the strength of the franchise," said Travis Boatman, vice president of worldwide studios for EA Mobile.

Orcs & Elves II for mobile is now available on most wireless carriers in North America and will be available in Europe in early 2008. Orcs & Elves for the Nintendo DS is now available at all major retailers and can be bought for $19.99.
