Dawn of Heroes site goes live

Wicked Studios and Majesco Entertainment have launched the official game trailer of Dawn of Heroes in addition to the official web site (www.dawnofheroes.com) for this upcoming strategy RPG for Nintendo DS.

Brimthule, the realm where the game takes place, is cursed, filled with malevolent characters, and separated into baronies. Cities have fallen, beasts of all are becoming bolder in their attacks on civilized society and the once beloved leaders - the six Barons - have become evil. Naturally fixing all these problems falls on the very broad shoulders of a handful of heroes that the player controls. Players will encounter a variety of characters from 12 different factions, fight through over 60 missions with optional and hidden objectives, create a team from 25 playable classes, and fight through the single and multiplayer modes.

A North American release date is to be determined.
