Developer Deep Silver has announced that their upcoming ARPG Sacred 3 will be released on August 5th for Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3. With gameplay inspired by the classic Gauntlet franchise, the Sacred franchise has been noted for its seamless drop in, drop out competitive co-op play, as well as its massive single-player campaigns.

There is also new Underworld Story mission pack, and Z4ngr13f Weapon Spirit exclusive GameStop pre-orders - and no, you’re not the only one arching your eyebrows at the clear reference to Capcom’s pile-driving Russian wrestler.
