It's been a long time since we've heard anything from the ambitious, lore-rich Elveon or news of its adaptation to Windows, Microsoft's Xbox 360, and (surprise!) Sony's PlayStation 3. Has the action RPG of Elven influence been shelved? That's a negatory, bub. The project apparently changed hands, and Elveon now has hopes of entering the gaming fray in 2009 thanks to the independent game company, Climax Group. Learn more about the switcheroo at the full story.

Even though there have been speculations of Elveon flat lining, since everything about the game has been taken off 10tacle Studio's website, the fantasy action epos is still battling it out. Coincidentally, the new trailer released features Elveon's highly developed combat system. The video is closer to an instructional demo really. Rather than showing you what moves your character can do, it actually teaches you how to do it. In the process, you are also learning strategy. Two birds with one stone.

Dynamic motion capturing and weapon collisions calculated in real-time is key to the realistic look that these sequences have. Creating the spectacular moves is no easy feat. Asian and Middle-Age martial arts have been combined and developed to create a unique Elvish fighting style.

A playable version of the game will be available at the Games Convention 2006 in Leipzig (Hall 3, Booth B20). But, if you're not in the area, just check out this featured article titled "Exploring Elveon" to get to know more about the game.
