Strategy First and Nival Interactive are pleased to announce that their highly anticipated title, Etherlords II is on its way to North American retailers. “Players wanted a more accessible game with this sequel and that’s what Nival has done,” says Steve Milburn, Director of Marketing at Strategy First. “Nival has kept all of its strategic possibilities that made the first game great, but added a new layer of RPG to open it to whole new audience.”

“Etherlords II is the only sequel we have released that has actually changed genres”, quipped Serge Orlovsky, President of Nival Interactive. “ This kind of radical change wouldn’t have been possible without the great amounts of feedback we received from the fans of the original, which helped immensely in creating a spectacular combination of role-play and card-based tactical combat”.
