Time Of Shadows Announced… Or Is It? Yes? No.

So I can barely even recollect the 2007 third-person fantasy RPG Dawn Of Magic (which was called something like “Blood Magic” in Russia), but that’s probably because it was deemed a bit rubbish. Undeterred by the picky Westerners, Russian developer Sky Fallen (who did Deathtrack Resurrection) is apparently working on what looks set to be sequel of sorts for the game, which will be called Time Of Shadows by new publishers Kalypso Media. Except no! We just got a press release thirty seconds ago announcing that Kalypso are calling it Dawn Of Magic 2, too. So what happens to Time Of Shadows now? No idea. They should probably just go for broke call it Blood Time Of Magi2 Dawn. Something like that.

    Dawn of Blood : Shadows of Magic ( in russia Blood Magic 2) or they could go the whole Men of War route and just randomly name every sequal something cool but unrelated to the other games. Say this one could be Faces of Magic and the next one Men of Magic
