We finally have a release date for Heroes of Ruin as well. While the title was originally set for a Spring release, the new date puts the title on shelves June 26th. Not that long of a wait, and I think the wait will be worth it!

Content descriptors: Fantasy Violence, Mild Blood, Mild Language
Rating summary: This is an action role-playing game in which players assume the role of a hero on a quest to break a powerful curse. From a 3/4–overhead perspective, players use swords, pistols, and magic spells to complete missions and defeat a variety of enemies (e.g., demons, elves, goblins, wolves). Combat is accompanied by battle cries, impact sounds, and colorful light effects; enemies disappear when killed. A few dungeon environments depict blood stains or dead bodies lying in small pools of blood. A handful of cutscenes also portray wounded characters moaning in pain. The words “damn” and “hell” appear in the dialogue.
