Berlin, Germany — The international multi-platform publisher Immanitas Entertainment announced and launched the official Frozen Hearth website on October 18. Along with the website the first official teaser trailer also gives some great first impressions of the game.

Frozen Hearth skillfully combines real-time strategy with roleplaying game mechanics and offers both an exciting single player campaign that can also be played cooperatively as well as a raft of multiplayer game modes.

Players find themselves engulfed in Danaan’s fight for survival as their home world of Amorra is overrun by cruel and bloodthirsty ice demons. These strange creatures, also known as the Shangur, seem to consist only of snow and ice and are slowly transforming the world into an icy wasteland. More than anything else, the Shangur seem to be like a race of huge insects. Like some horrific ant colony that is interested in more than merely developing its nest and providing food for the production of replacement workers – they have come to kill.

The many roleplaying game mechanics enhance and extend this strategy game effectively and give the players all the tools they need to use many different approaches to complete all 18 levels of the game – both alone and with friends – or battle it out online or locally against other gamers.

Both the website and trailer can be found at www.frozenhearthgame.com.

Berlin, Germany — “Frozen Hearth,” an enticing mix of strategy and RPG, is set in the world of Amorra, which the Danaan have called home for many generations. With the advancing forces of the ice demons, known as the Shangur, this is about to change.

The ancient world of Amorra draws its influences from many areas including, but not restricted to, dark fairy tales and conventional fantasy as well as Celtic, Scandinavian and other European mythologies. The aim was to create a fantastical but believable world that’s grounded in reality. It is this world, the home of the Danaan, which is under threat from the invading Shangur.

Unfortunately for the Danaan, it soon becomes apparent that the ice demons are just too powerful to be defeated and the Danaan’s only hope for survival is to flee. This is where the player’s as-yet inexperienced hero comes into the picture: he is cast into the demanding position of leadership, responsible for a group of refugees that need to be lead to safety, all the while marshaling his forces and holding off marauding enemies.

Throughout the main story the gripping fight for survival unfolds and sees the player’s hero coming into his true power until he is in charge of the most elite warriors, armed with the most powerful weapons and magic and backed by other heroic figures of the Danaan: he is no longer just responsible for a single village but a source of hope for the entire Danaan people.

On his path to becoming the ultimate hero of the Danaan the player must slowly progress from saving a small caravan of refugees to being given more and more important tasks and missions from powerful and influential Danaan. During this time the hero will not only grow in personal power but also experience or witness tragedy first-hand and acquire the allies and tools to ultimately thwart the Shangur’s unrelenting drive to destroying everyone and everything in their path.

Frozen Hearth will be released in late 2012 and will be available for purchase in retail stores and via digital download platforms.
