Another new article! Sanctum awaits!

Mark · 05-31-2007, 08:32 PM

Check out the capital city of the Elyos, right here!

It's a freaking floating city! Seems like normal humans aren't allowed inside. I wonder why. What secrets does this holy city hide? Speculate away while I upload some high-res images!

EDIT: All done uploading! Check it all out in our gallery:

Uhh, strike...one?
Strike...two, the largest building in Sanctum?
Strike...three.

All out!

Nice! But damn it, for a second I thought I'd be seeing a screenshot

Mark · 05-31-2007, 09:17 PM

Sorry, just art. I'm guessing the next time we'll see new screenshots is when the new E3 rolls around.

Shade · 05-31-2007, 09:19 PM

When exactly is the next E3? I lost track when I heard E3 was canceled x_x

Mark · 05-31-2007, 09:25 PM

Uh, I honestly have no idea either. June/July?

Gold_sword · 05-31-2007, 10:43 PM

osric · 05-31-2007, 11:30 PM

Typecast · 05-31-2007, 11:58 PM

etherfreeze · 06-01-2007, 12:48 AM

plasma06 · 06-01-2007, 03:07 AM

very nice art but need some Asmodians art.i think E3 this year will only be open to press due to over cording last year

Diablo · 06-01-2007, 08:23 AM

Looks like a great place to sack and pillage.

Nice article, with a slight view of Elysian politics, looks like it needs to be shaken up a bit. Lovely buildings, very regal.

Ithium · 06-01-2007, 11:54 AM

I really like the art direction they are going for. It seems to be a great mix of Old Roman art with European architechture. The largest building seems to have an amazing cathedral look to it. Also I love all the looks into the lore and story behind this amazing looking game. All in all I think things are going well, and hoping we might get some kind of time table for this game at E3

I'm glad the name "Sanctum" is subject to change because it's not very original.
By looking at the picture the city seems quite clean, the kind of style I like goes well with the Angelic-theme.

I'm glad only certain races can enter the city that's how it should be, humans cannot be trusted!

They also talk about Seraphim they seem like hero's for the Elyos. This town has alot to offer! An arena, biggest tower in the Elyos land, transportation modes, I can't wait!!! Not to mention a holy room where only certain person will be able to enter, I wonder what's in there?.
