Of Orcs and Men Plot Details Revealed

            Focus Home Interactive has revealed a new title currently in development jointly between Cyanide Studios, developers of the frequently under-appreciated Blood Bowl, and Spiders, a small studio that had a hand in the Xbox 360 conversions of Sherlock Holmes Versus Jack the Ripper and Gray Matter, as well as developing the recent Faery: Legends of Avalon. Of Orcs and Men is an intriguing Role-Playing Game (RPG) currently scheduled for a spring 2012 release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

Of Orcs and Men first puts you into the role of an elite Orc soldier from the legendary legion of Bloodjaws, a league of warriors deeply involved in the war opposing the Orcs and Goblins on one side to their persecutors, Humankind. As a veteran warrior who has seen the most brutal of battles, you are appointed by the Orc commander to complete a mission that could change the course of the war: kill the one man responsible for all of this bloodshed, the one who has, for years, exhorted the human masses to loath and fight the green-skinned people: the Emperor himself.

A Goblin will soon join you to aid you in your mission… he is everything the Orc is not. But you find that this works to your advantage as you fight on the battleground and off. Making advantage of their natural traits, they have their own skill trees you will develop. While the Orc focuses on power, reflecting his incredible strength, the Goblin will benefit from darker powers and stealth abilities, making him the perfect assassin.

From the filthy alleys at the foot of the Great Wall, to the depths of the Empire of Men, your two infiltrated heroes will face the greatest dangers through their epic quest. They will commune with the Wizards, fight the assassins and soldiers of the Empire of Men, and oppose the powerful Sisters of Laments.

As the world falls into chaos and you face a cruel and merciless humanity bent on eternal persecution of Orcs and Goblins, your unlikely duo will have one last chance to change the course of History and, hopefully, bringing peace between your peoples. Of Orcs and Men will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC early in 2012, and Electronic Theatre will keep you updated with all the latest details.
