Ossian Studios has announced their new project - an iPhone/iPad game titled The Shadow Sun. Here's the announcement at their site:

After working with Dungeons & Dragons and The Witcher over the past few years, Ossian Studios has turned its RPG talents to creating a new fantasy game and world of its own design. We are pleased to announce The Shadow Sun™: a dark heroic fantasy that brings together the high adventure of classic D&D, combat inspired by Fable, Zelda, and The Witcher, and the fear of otherworldly horrors of H.P. Lovecraft.

This is a world in which magic is wielded by only a few, where a cataclysm a millennium ago still fuels hostilities between the civilizations that remain, and where much of the lands beyond the fringes of human settlement remain a deadly unknown. It is also a world that has felt an alien touch upon its sun, shrouding it in ever-increasing shadow with consequences that are only now becoming horrifically apparent.

The Shadow Sun brings a full 3D, true Western-style RPG to the iPhone and iPod touch. Combining the excitement of dynamic, visceral combat with a gripping story, it will redefine role-playing on the platform. Stunning, finely detailed graphics and a captivating musical score couple to create an immersive experience to rival the best PC and console RPG titles.

Features:

* Enter a story full of complex characters, intrigue, danger, and shocking surprises.
* Explore the decadent imperial city of Shar and the exotic desert lands around it.
* Battle enemies using magical powers and dozens of weapons.
* Play as male or female with a character system that allows you to evolve your character's abilities exactly how you want.
* Ally with one of several companions to adventure with and fight alongside.

Make your role-playing choices wisely through dialogue or action, and become either a hero or a villain.

Nice, will be interesting to see the final product.

When I first read the title it made me think of something, why haven't they made an AD&D Dark Sun game...

Wait a sec. The Witcher isn't from Ossian Studios...
It's from CDProjekt RED team.

They didn't. It's probably a stupid fault in the press release. As of now they released two Modules for the first and the second Neverwinter Nights.

They're not a bad studio. I'm looking somewhat forward to what they will do.

Indeed.

Sometimes studios just help out a bit as a side project. So they might have been involved as well? This is the team that did Heroes of Westgate right? I still have to play that one for NWN2, but I kinda burnt out on such games some time ago. Don't have the patience anymore.
