PC and Xbox 360 versions are also due, though the release dates have yet to be announced.<br /><br />Additionally, Deep Silver revealed a new video for the game's final playable character, the Seraphim Mage.

When the game was announced last year, all we knew about it was that it featured co-op action and some groovy graphical flairs, but now we're seeing how <em>Citadel</em> relates to its big role-playing brother.<br /><br />Players will be able to play as three characters at a time, picked from four character classes (including a Khukuri Shaman, an Ancarian Ranger, a Safiri Warrior, or an unrevealed class), and each has their own set of skills to be leveled up and unlocked. Additionally, characters can equip weapons or armor that can be stashed in town, or pop potions to refill either a health or a power meter.<br /><br /><em>Sacred Citadel</em>, says Deep Silver, will serve as a prologue to the upcoming <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/sacred-3"><em>Sacred 3</em></a>, and should be out for Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and the PC sometime this year.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/02/28/sacred-citadel-will-feature-four-classes-to-level-up-and-a-gear/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Sacred Citadel will feature four classes to level up and a gear stash</em></a></p><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/2013/02/28/sacred-citadel-will-feature-four-classes-to-level-up-and-a-gear/">Sacred Citadel will feature four classes to level up and a gear stash</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 28 Feb 2013 05:00:00 EST.

It was the last entry in the Sacred series of dungeon crawlers, that debuted back in 2008. The series is known for high, serious fantasy, but the latest title, <em>Sacred Citadel</em>, looks to be taking a different approach.<br /><br />While there are still plenty of fantasy creatures in tow, the dungeon-crawling is taking a back seat to "b*tchin battles," "ridonkulous rides" and "crazy co-op." It looks, all in a ll, a bit more over-the-top than what Sacred players may be used to. <em>Sacred Citadel</em> is slated for release on PSN, XBLA and PC in 2013.<br /><br />Have no fear if you're looking for something a little more traditional, however, as the <a href="http://www.sacred-world.com/"><em>Sacred Citadel</em> website</a> reveals that <em>Sacred 3</em> is most certainly on the way, with the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sacredworld/posts/127078957436337">official Facebook page</a> asking fans to "stay tuned."<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/sacred-citadel/">Sacred Citadel</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/sacred-citadel/#5196142"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/08/citjuly201201_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/sacred-citadel/#5196143"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/08/citjuly201202_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/sacred-citadel/#5196144"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/08/citjuly201203_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/sacred-citadel/#5196145"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/08/citjuly201204_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/sacred-citadel/#5196146"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/08/citjuly201205_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><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/2012/08/07/sacred-citadel-beats-em-up-on-psn-xbla-and-pc-in-2013/">Sacred Citadel beats 'em up on PSN, XBLA and PC in 2013</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 07 Aug 2012 18:00:00 EST.
