Hunted: The Demon's Forge is a new IP from Bethesda, but the publisher has announced that gamers who play the upcoming fantasy action game will be hearing a familiar voice. The publisher has announced that Lucy Lawless of Xena: Princess Warrior and Battlestar Gallactica fame will voice one of the character's in the game.
Lawless will lend her vocal talent as Seraphine, an "adventurer-turned temptress" character. She will appear in the game as a ghost, possessed by the Demon's Forge "ancient and powerful evil," and will attempt to lure Caddoc and E'lara, the game's protagonists to perform malevolent tasks.
Set in a dark fantasy world, Hunted: The Demon’s Forge is an unforgettable cooperative action game, pitting you and your partner against waves of vicious enemies. Taking control of either E’lara, a ranged weapon expert, or Caddoc, a master swordsman, you must use a variety of weapons, powerful spells, and cover tactics to battle your way through menacing dungeons, overgrown ruins, and downtrodden towns. Discover secrets and complete co-op-based puzzles whilst exploring the sinister world to discover answers to the game’s deep, dark mysteries.
The dark ages have become corrupted. Heinous creatures have emerged from underground. Townsfolk across the land are disappearing. Upon the promise of their fortune in gold, mercenaries E’lara and Caddoc take on the daunting task of discovering where the innocent villagers have been taken. Their journey will lead them on a dark and twisted path where they will encounter death, slavery, and sacrifice. Travel deep within the world of Kala Moor...and to the secrets of The Demon’s Forge.
Hunted: The Demon's Forge is due to hit retailers June 1, 2011 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
