Project Exile for the DS

[Wraith Storm]

I was wondering if anyone knew the status of Studio Archcraft's Project Exile for the DS. I read that it was finally (and thankfully) picked up by publisher Grafittie Entertainment for a 1st quarter 08 release, but there is no info about the game on their site.

The game has been in the works for several years and I think it looks like an incredible RPG. I have a video of it that I downloaded from the Studio Archcraft homepage last year and it just looks beautiful. But now it seems the Studio Archcraft website is gone as well.

Does anyone have any info on this? I hope that it does indeed get released. It would be a shame for it to go the way of Mythri...

Thought I would give this thread another shot (As well as the Mythri thread in classic gaming) in hopes that *someone* out there has any info on the game.

Don't know a thing about it. If the homepage is gone, that doesn't sound like a good sign. Is that video on YouTube or something? If not, maybe you could put it there. I'd take a peak at it.


EDIT: I found a forum where Studio Archcraft posts official news.

They don't have any news newer than what you already know though. The newest official post just says that they're working with Graffiti towards a first quarter release, like you already said.

THANK YOU for finding their forums. :hail: Now I can keep in touch and follow the games progress.

I am really suprised that so few people know about Project Exile. Coming from an unknown company it looks so professional. It looks like it was heavily inspired by Chrono Trigger and the best of the 16 bit RPGs. Seriously... we need to get the word out and generate some hype. The old GBA trailer is here http://www.gametrailers.com/player/11307.html but they scrapped the GBA release and are porting it to the DS.

If you are a fan of high qualitly 16 bit RPG's like Chrono trigger and Treasure Hunter G, I suggest checking out the trailer. Great music, top notch pixel art, and cool battle system... I can't wait.

Ok! Well I did some snooping around on their forums and aperantly the game is now officially titled "Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled".

It also appears that their homepage (http://www.studioarchcraft.com) is back up :guitar: but unfortunatly it hasn't been updated in a while. It still hosts some good screenshots and character art though. Looks like most of the news is being delivered via their forums.

You're not kidding when you say it looks Chrono Trigger inspired.

That cave right there looks like it could've been lifted right out of CT. The rope ladders look the same and everything. Watching the trailer gives me that same feeling.

Seems like it could be a cool game. I'll keep an eye out for new bits on it.
