SpellForce III Free Preview Weekend on Steam

The recent trailer for THQ Nordic and Grimlore Games’ RTS/RPG hybrid SpellForce III showcased the game’s human faction, and now, thanks to a free preview weekend on Steam, you can try your hand at commanding the humans in battle.

And if you’re feeling like you could use some competitive RTS gameplay in your life – you can also participate in an open Spellforce III tournament and win the Collector’s Edition of the game. You can find the details in this press release:
