Sacred 3 Interview

Hot off the news that Sacred 3 is in development comes a freshly translated interview with Deep Silver PR Manager Martin Wein on Sacred3.org. The original German version is up at Sacred-Legends.de, too, if English isn't your native tongue:
Sacred Legends: For a lot of Sacred-Fans there are certain characteristics that belong to the Sacred Series. How does the current Concept for Sacred 3 look like? Is the Sacred sequel gonna be a typical Hack-n-Slay? Will the players have amusing lines and built-in parallels to the real World to smirk about?

Wein: One thing is for sure. Sacred 3 will be a Sacred. We wanna keep the Charm of the series and you will stumble upon one or another popular character of the prequels. The Community will be taken on board again too. We wanna develop a sequel, which will stand the modern demands of a video game. Guido Eickmeyer who was working as the Producer when Sacred 2 was already at Deep Silver and worked for Ascaron before that is going to be in lead of the development of Sacred 3.

Sacred Legends: Will Sacred 3 be available for PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 like its predecessor?

Wein: Sacred 3 will be published for PC and consoles. But I am not able to tell you right now which consoles that will be. If Sony or Microsoft releases a new console we would take into consideration to switch to the new console generation. but the Release for PC is confirmed. Because Sacred was and still is a PC Game, even tho I liked the Menus and padbindings for the consoles.
