Grimlore Games and THQ Nordic have announced the release date for the upcoming Soul Harvest expansion for SpellForce 3.
The new expansion is launching towards the end of this month – on May 28th.
Soul Harvest is a standalone expansion to the original SpellForce 3 from December 2017. The expansion is set three years later, and focuses predominately on a war between the Dwarves and Dark Elves. You can check out a new trailer detailing the Dark Elves faction above.
Here’s a rundown of the expansion’s content:
Three years after the Purity Wars, Nortander is on the cusp of a new era.
However, things aren’t as peaceful as they seem – when the Queen calls you, a disgraced General, back to your homeland, you’re plunged in a war on many fronts: While a hatemonger threatens to tear apart the Dwarven realm, an enigmatic cult of Dark Elves harvests the souls of people for reasons unknown.
Gather your allies and prevent a catastrophe!
