In a Kingdom ruled by insanity, a new hero rises in Arcania – A Gothic Tale®. After a war-like past, the tides are once again turning … and an entire kingdom's future is at stake. The once-beloved hero King has gone mad and now a young fisherman is chosen by fate to fulfill his destiny.
Build your strength, learn the skills needed to be the hero of prophecy, and challenge the mighty King, who has more than one dark secret. Journey through the kingdom's stunning landscapes and meet a host of unique characters and become a part of their stories. Battle the land's monsters and villains to unravel all its mysteries and shape a whole Kingdom in your way. Can you right the King's wrongs and, above all, what choices will lead you there?
Epic storyline: Overcome your lowly past, reveal the mysterious truths of the land and ascend to being the Kingdom's hero.
Unprecedented visuals: Experience a realistic, living, and breathing world, crowded with individuals and astonishing landscapes.
Day and night: Weather cycles and time of day guarantee not only a unique environment but influence your tactics and their outcome on your heroic journey.
Sophisticated combat system: The intuitive system offers a gradual learning curve that evolves into a complex multi-opponent model that breaks free from button mashing.
Armor and crafting system: Design and forge the equipment you need most in your upcoming fights with the adaptive A.I.http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/a/arcania/

Looks like it could be good. Hopefully it will make the Fall release the website states :)

Looks like a 3rd person Oblivion. I do enjoy these type of games (RPGs set in the mystical era of knights and fiends), but i'll have to wait and see what the reviews say, or at least see some gameplay, before this goes on my watch list.

What the ****? I'm on Guild Wars right now, and I click this, the picture is almost exactly the same, the layout/HUD is the same, the armour looks the same, even the environment in the background looks similar.

I hope this is good anyway, an RPG is another RPG, and I like RPG's.
