Fat loot aficionados won't be happy to hear that the console debut of <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Sacred-2-Fallen-Angel/">Sacred 2: Fallen Angel</a></em> has been pushed into Q2 2009. Originally, the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game were slated to release alongside the PC version, but delays forced developer Ascaron to focus on one platform.<br /> <br /> Sure, we're upset that our plundering and level grinding will be put on hold, but considering the bumps in the road <em>Sacred 2</em> hit when it released on PC last November, we wouldn't mind a <a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/koch-pushes-sacred-2-console-back">few extra months of development</a>. What bumps, you ask? Things like game crashes, flip-book style framerates and wacky collision detection that sent players hurling through terrain, into the empty world below. Small stuff, <em>really</em>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/02/04/sacred-2-fallen-angel-pushed-into-q2-2009/">Sacred 2: Fallen Angel pushed into Q2 2009</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 04 Feb 2009 14:15:00 EST.

<div align="left">Fresh from the developer oven and cooled just enough for immediate consumption are five new <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/sacred-2-fallen-angel-1/1320663/full/"><em>Sacred 2: Fallen Angel</em> screenshots</a> from the Xbox 360 version. There isn't much terribly new to be seen in the screens, but they do focus on both the Temple Guardian and Seraphim characters. What we find most interesting is the <a href="http://www.starwars.com/databank/vehicle/wheelbike/"><em>Star Wars </em>Wheel Bike</a> inspired <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/sacred-2-fallen-angel-1/1320663/full/">Monowheel</a> and the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/sacred-2-fallen-angel-1/1320660/full/">horse</a> screenshot, mainly because we are fans of most all equine. Enjoy the screens.<br /></div>

Here's some CGI trailer goodness, brought to you by developer Ascaron and their upcoming action role playing fantasy <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/sacred-2"><em>Sacred 2: Fallen Angel</em></a>. Embedded above is the game's <a href="http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/22553">introductory video</a> which is 100% CGI and 100% back story informative. There's also skeleton warrior mutilation, a giant rock monster, a metal dog-looking character that shoots laser from its arm and a chick that rides a giant tiger.

After the annoucement that <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/sacred-2"><em>Sacred 2: Fallen Angel</em></a> has been <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/21/360-version-of-sacred-2-pushed-to-q1-2009/">delayed into 2009</a>, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Atari/">Atari</a> has announced a multi-year distribution deal with cdv, the European publisher of the game. Atari will bring <em>Sacred 2</em> to the North American market, along with future titles from the publisher. <em>Sacred 2</em> will be hitting North American soil on February 17, 2009. So, for everyone out there awaiting a decent multiplayer dungeon crawl, mark your calendars, and try not to get confused by the new Atari logo on the box. Everyone else, move along.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/22/sacred-2-hits-north-america-feb-17-2009-atari-distributes/">Sacred 2 hits North America Feb 17, 2009, Atari distributes</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 22 Oct 2008 17:30:00 EST.

You know, a few months ago, we might have been sad to report that the dungeon crawling action of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/sacred-2"><em>Sacred 2: Fallen Angel</em></a> has been <a href="http://www.sacred2.com/en/news/show/detail/Konsolenversionen_erscheinen_2009.html">pushed back</a> to the first quarter of 2009, but seriously, have you <em>seen</em> all the releases dropping this holiday? Yeah, so have we. Just trying to afford a few of these games is already hard enough. We don't need Ascaron's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/02/28/x3f-tv-sacred-2-hands-on/">impressive looking</a> action RPG thrown on top of everything else. Then again, next year brings us heavy hitters like <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/resident-evil-5"><em>Resident Evil 5</em></a> and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/halo-wars"><em>Halo Wars</em></a>. Our wallets may never be safe.<br /><br />[Thanks, Ryan]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/21/360-version-of-sacred-2-pushed-to-q1-2009/">360 version of Sacred 2 pushed to Q1 2009</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 21 Oct 2008 17:15:00 EST.
