Sacred 2 - Preview @ Ace Gamez

The Sacred 2 previews are rolling in, with the latest coming from Ace Gamez UK:

The game world itself is huge - fifteen square kilometres of territory to explore, which is divided into twelve themed regions including desert, mountain, icy tundra and jungle, with villages and towns for the various races like the High Elves and the Medieval level humans to explore. To give you an idea of just how huge it is, running non-stop from the top left to the bottom right of the game world would take approximately six hours! Even more impressive is that the world of Ancaria is fully streamed, so you won't see a single load break or even be aware that the next sections are loading in as you approach them. This includes buildings, and I was impressed as the Seraphim was guided into a house, its roof fading away to reveal her walking straight inside to ransack it (some RPG traditions never change, I'm glad to say!) The levels are multi-tiered too, so when you're high up you might spot an area down below in the distance that you want to find your way down to and explore.
