Mage's Initiation: Reign of the Elements, Himalaya Studios' crowdfunded Adventure/RPG hybrid inspired by the Quest for Glory series, now has an official release date and even its own Steam page. Barring any unforeseen delays, the game should be going live on January 30, 2019, so basically in just two months. And if you'd like to see a few bits of gameplay ahead of that, you can check out this snazzy new trailer:
And here's the official description:
D'arc is sixteen years old. He has trained extensively in the Elemental arts for the past decade of his young life, under the discerning eyes of the Mage Masters of Iginor. Confined to an existence of academics and magical mastery in their tower, the inquisitive Initiate often wonders what it would be like to set foot outside in the world he has been secluded from.
D'arc's moment of reckoning arrives and he is summoned to the Hallowed Hall, where the four Mage Masters put him to the test. The young Initiate is tasked with completing three quests which will test his magical and mental strength to full capacity. He must return to the Mage's Tower bearing a symbol of proof that he has conquered each task:
A lock of hair from a powerful Enchantress.
The unspoiled shell of Griffon's egg.
The horn of the fabled and legendary Tricorn.
Join D'arc on a perilous journey across the medieval-styled land of Iginor. Brave the perilous Bloodbark forest where the Redcap goblins stalk. Trek across a barren desert wasteland rife with lawless Bandits and savage Burrowers. Navigate over a vast body of water where evil masquerades as beauty. And ascend beyond the lofty mountain peaks where the mysterious and hostile race of Flyterians dwell, suspicious of all outsiders. It is time for D'arc to prove himself.
Three quests. One chance.
Will D'arc succeed and take his place among his fellow Mages?
