SpellForce III is Coming to Consoles

Publisher THQ Nordic and developer Grimlore Games have announced SpellForce III is coming to consoles on December 7 as SpellForce III Reforced.

While SpellForce III is coming to consoles, it’ll be available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 on December 7th for $39.99/€39.99/£34.99. If you own the original game on PC, you’ll get a free upgrade to SpellForce III Reforced the same day of release.


While SpellForce III is an RPG and RTS hybrid, controls for consoles were a focus with the new version. Grimlore Games has built intuitive gamepad integration and “tailor-made UI” to provide players a seamless control experience.

Futhermore, console players will be eligible to buy the previously released Soul Harvest and Fallen God expansions the same day, for $19.99 each. Each expansion includes a new single-player campaign with over 30 hours of gameplay, new units to amass, and more. There’s also a Complete Edition planned that includes the base game and expansions for $59.99.

Pre-orders are available now:

It is the year 518. The rebellion of the renegade mages, known as the Mage Wars, has been quashed by the Crown.
