It’s a game that is almost 4 years old, and although it has a very solid and strong platform, but Grim Dawn developers at Crate Entertainment understand that to keep this glory long, they will need to do more more things, not just “enjoy” like the majority of “big men” in other game industry. Promised with countless new features and powerful tweaks, the release date was moved continuously from the summer of 2018 to the end of 2018, and was finally officially fixed on Ma– indeed The global Grim Dawn community has counting every day in wait.

Launched in 2016, Grim Dawn quickly became a phenomenal village RPG slashed by the appeal of play, massive epic, and infinite depth. Many other products want to target this great goal, but only a few true wonders are close to that “ultimate” realm.įrom a production “place”, Titan Quest was the previous day and Grim Dawn of today, can be considered the true successors of the old Diablo quintessence – if not to say that they can match, even surpassed those “predecessors” in certain categories.

The appeal of mythical epics, delicate little models, multi-sided dice filled with magic … are things that shape this fascinating game genre. Originating from table-top games, the early role-playing game has a slow pace, almost sequentially. Indeed, whether it is a platformer action game, a strategy or a puzzle, isn’t the player “role-play” into the character that he controls?
