AGON 4 strikes new publishing deal in UK
Remember AGON? You'll be forgiven if you don't, as the previous game in the projected 14-episode series, Pirates of Madagascar, was released over three years ago now. The first three episodes of the downloadable adventure series have since been bundled and released in AGON: The Mysterious Codex, but the lengthy wait for episode four has caused many to question whether the series would ever continue. Today, however, comes the news that Kalypso Media will be publishing AGON: The Lost Sword of Toledo in the UK.
This isn't the first such publishing announcement, as Lexicon Entertainment was previously introduced as the game's UK publisher. The planned release dates from Lexicon came and went with no game, however, so now Kalypso steps in, hopefully with better results. The fledgling publisher was originally founded by industry veterans in Germany in 2006, and opened its UK office earlier this year.
Unlike the previous games in the series, The Lost Sword of Toledo will be released as a full-length retail product, much longer and more involved than the earlier segments, which partly explains the extra time spent bringing the game to market. The new game once again stars Professor Samuel Hunt as he explores the globe in search of a series of ancient games. This time around, he arrives in the historic Spanish town of Toledo, where a young man has stolen some valuable treasures, reviving longstanding family grievances whose past secrets had been taken to the grave.
While Kalypso has been announced as publisher, no firm release date has yet been revealed for the game's launch in the UK.
