We’re really excited to be helping Dark Vale Games and all of their partners release FORGE today.  FORGE is an awesome new indie PC game that evolves PC multiplayer with amazingly fun, fast and strategic skill-based PvP.  Check out more at PlayForgeWar.com.

FORGE has followed a long road to get where it is today — and where is it?  On Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/223390/), Amazon, and Gamersgate for $19.99 (each purchase awards a second copy of the game FREE to give to friends!).  The game went through a “Kick-Finish” campaign on Kickstarter, launched an Alpha, and then was chosen by fans on Steam to be in the Greenlight program… all the while ,more than 20,000 players were transfixed in the beta program, constantly refining and bug squashing as release date neared.

The Assassin charges a Shaman.
