Vancouver, WA (April 6, 2022) - Independent video game publisher and remaster studio Nightdive Studios — under license from iwot productions' affiliate Red Eagle Games and in partnership GOG.com — welcomes players back to Robert Jordan’s legendary fantasy masterpiece, The Wheel of Time. The remastered first-person title launches today exclusively on digital video game storefront GOG, headlining its brand-new Good Old Games collection of classic PC games.
This latest offering from GOG provides players the most direct route to experiencing the iconic titles of yesteryear and is the only place to play one of GameSpy's “most underrated games of all time” and a game fans of both the books and Amazon’s hit series won’t want to miss.
Originally developed by Legend Entertainment and released in 1999, The Wheel of Time is a fantasy-themed first-person shooter set 150 years before the events of Robert Jordan’s epic fantasy series and the hit Amazon TV show. The game follows Elayna Sedai, the Keeper of the Chronicles of the White Tower, as she embarks on a perilous quest to retrieve one of the four lost seals keeping the terrifying and mysterious Dark One imprisoned. Explore familiar locations like the crumbling city of Shadar Logoth, the Mountains of Mist, and the White Tower while engaging in a glorious quest to ensure the safety of the realm.
A first-person shooter with no guns and a fantasy game with no swords, players will instead utilize a variety of more than 40 ter'angreal — magical artifacts that grant incredible powers. These spells range from simple offensive attacks like fireballs and magic darts to more complex effects such as swapping locations with an enemy and short-range teleportation. These artifacts can also be combined and chained together for devastating effects.
