Speaking with Matthias Schindler from 10tacle Studios earlier today, we learned that Elveon, a Third-Person Action RPG for the Xbox 360, would be making its way to the PS3. It has been reported before as a game to look forward to on the 360, and PS3 owners will now be able to enjoy it as well.

For those of you unfamiliar with the game, it follows an elvish warrior whose fate leads him on a legendary struggle dating back to the beginnings of the elvish race; a struggle that he has to finish. It uses the Unreal 3 engine and features unique sword based game play.

The game has over 100 weapons and 4 unique weapon classes. The story takes you through elvish mythology, reliving the stories that the world you play in is based on. The game is expected during the summer of this year.

Never heard of this game until now. Looks decent. Seems like more titles are making their way into PS3's camp. Now if they could only nab Bioshock and Mass Effect!

I read about Elveon a few months ago. I'm looking forward to this as well (probably on 360), but it's good that the PS3 is getting some Western RPGs since J-RPGs probably aren't going to cut it for me this gen.

I wouldn't want Mass Effect to jump onto PS3, even if it had a snowball's chance. Some games just need to be exclusive, for no other reason than for the devs to focus on one console and get the most out of it.

I read about this game about a year ago. It's been on my want list since then, more or less in the same class as Two Worlds. I hope it delivers on its promise of "Soul Caliber-like" combat. The use of physics in combat here alone is very interesting; instead of using pre-modelled motion animations your attacks are governed by physics calculations, so if your swing hits something the arc and trajectory of your swing will change accordingly. Very awesome stuff.

Blade of Darkness (Severance) like a decade back upped the ante for PC melee combat games and this game could just be the one that raises the bar on all platforms in this regard. It also helps that it's a huge gameworld ala Elder Scrolls.

I don't know about that Soul Calibur-like combat. That could push expectations too high for the game, considering the developer (who is it anyway?).

Already debunked and rendered false by the developers.
