Spirituele opvolger van Titan Quest dat ondanks een brakke launch nog steeds een grote en trouwe fanbase heeft.
Grim Dawn is an action role-playing game intended for digital distribution on the PC. It is being developed by veterans of Iron Lore entertainment, the makers of Titan Quest. Grim Dawn is being built with Crate's own improved version of the Iron Lore engine and toolset; the same technology used to create Titan Quest. As a spiritual successor, Grim Dawn will attempt to better perfect the magical formula of exploration, character advancement, and loot collection pioneered by Diablo.
Players will be thrust into the dark, war-torn world of Cairn where a once proud empire has been brought to ruin and the human race driven to the edge of extinction. Cairn has become ground zero of an eternal war between two otherworldly powers, one seeking to use human bodies as a resource, the other intent upon destroying the human race before that can happen. This cataclysmic war has not only decimated human civilization but is warping the very fabric of reality and, in its wake, giving life to new horrors.
For humankind it is the dawn of a grim new age where iron has replaced gold as currency and the importance of salt as a weapon makes it far too valuable to waste on food. Small enclaves of human survivors exist scattered throughout the world, holed up in hidden refuges. These humans have quietly watched the warring invaders destroy one another and have become wise to the strengths and vulnerabilities of their otherworldly foes. A few survivors have begun to exhibit strange new abilities after surviving possession or exposure to the warp. These unnatural powers are feared by some but give many new hope of launching a resistance to fight the "outsiders" and reclaim what's left of their world.

Interessante tidbits;
Crate Entertainment past een soort van "community contributed" development toe, dwz, na de aankondiging van Grim Dawn kregen ze zoveel respons uit de TQ fanbase van mensen die een steentje wilden bijdragen dat ze hun game nu al aanbieden als pre-order op hun website. Extra geld dat binnekomt wordt gebruikt om quests wat verder uit te werken en zaken te doen die hun "normaal budget" niet toelaat.

Soit, ik heb me al de Legendary Fan Edition "pre-ordered" aangezien ik nogal een fan ben van lootwhore ARPGS en dit soort devs kan in mijn ogen geen support genoeg krijgen!
