SpellForce III: Reforced Edition Console Release Postponed

Announced earlier this year, SpellForce III: Reforced Edition will be bringing Grimlore Games’ RTS/RPG hybrid SpellForce III to both current and next gen consoles, while also acting as a free “enhanced” edition for the game’s PC version.

However, according to this Twitter announcement, the game will be making its console debut later than originally anticipated, on March 8, 2022, to be precise. The PC update, though, should still be coming in early December.

Here’s a press release with some additional info:
