Vancouver, WA (April 6, 2022) - Independent video game publisher and remaster studio Nightdive Studios — under license from iwot productions' affiliate Red Eagle Games and in partnership GOG.com — welcomes players back to Robert Jordan’s legendary fantasy masterpiece, The Wheel of Time. The remastered first-person title launches today exclusively on digital video game storefront GOG, headlining its brand-new Good Old Games collection of classic PC games.
This latest offering from GOG provides players the most direct route to experiencing the iconic titles of yesteryear and is the only place to play one of GameSpy's “most underrated games of all time” and a game fans of both the books and Amazon’s hit series won’t want to miss.
A first-person shooter with no guns and a fantasy game with no swords, players will instead utilize a variety of more than 40 ter'angreal — magical artifacts that grant incredible powers. These spells range from simple offensive attacks like fireballs and magic darts to more complex effects such as swapping locations with an enemy and short-range teleportation. These artifacts can also be combined and chained together for devastating effects.
