Deep Silver officially announced an add-on for SACRED 2 – Fallen Angel for PC Ice & Blood will be distributed by Koch Media world-wide – except for the USA, Canada, Mexico, and Russia – and published under the Deep Silver label, with Ascaron acting as a co-publishing partner.

With Ice & Blood, SACRED and action RPG fans can look forward to an elaborate new development with numerous new features, promising many additional hours of exciting gaming fun, and adding to the value and replayability of the original game.

Add to that new in-game items for each main character of SACRED 2 – Fallen Angel, and plenty more useful, innovative features. Ice & Blood requires an installation of the original game.

"We are very pleased that, together with Ascaron, we now get to publish the expansion of the extremely successful SACRED 2 – Fallen Angel for PC as well. We know how fervently the fan community is yearning for new adventures, and we are confident that we will be able to release Ice & Blood within a matter of months," says Georg Larch, International Marketing Director Koch Media.

"As a leading publisher and distributor, Deep Silver has shown what is possible in a good partnership, and thus made a major contribution to the success of Sacred 2 on all platforms. Therefore, it makes sense to continue the successful cooperation, and market the Sacred 2 add-on 'Ice & Blood' together with Koch Media," says Ascaron CEO Heiko tom Felde.

The SACRED 2 – Fallen Angel add-on Ice & Blood for PC is due for release in the second half of 2009. Besides the retail version, the add-on will also be available for download.
