Havas Interactive Ltd announced today the launch of a new website for their upcoming PC role-playing game, Arcanum:Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura at http://www.arcanum1.com. The new website is filled with information about the groundbreaking new game, and includes detailed background and storyline information that will immerse fans into the world of Arcanum. Web site visitors can browse "The Tarantian," the best source of news-worthy items in Arcanum, get a primer on the many races in the game, view maps, read stories of adventures in "Arcanum Tales," and much more.

Arcanum is the first game to come from the development house Troika Games, LLC, started by former Fallout team members Tim Cain, Leonard Boyarsky, and Jason Anderson. The experienced Arcanum development team reunites many of the original development team from the critically acclaimed Fallout and Fallout 2 RPGs, including: Tim Cain, Leonard Boyarsky, Jason Anderson, Jesse Reynolds, Chris Jones, and Mark Harrison.

Arcanum creates a compelling new world where magic and technology coexist in an uneasy balance. As Arcanum opens, the mechanical age has only recently arrived in this ancient land where Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs and other races have learned to coexist in the new sprawling industrialized cities.
But this radical shift from magic to technology has created a potentially explosive situation. While the townspeople and other thinkers begin mass production of light bulbs, batteries, eyeglasses and guns, the Mages grow leery. This tightly-wound setting is the starting point from which the character must set out on his quest.

Arcanum allows gamers to assume the role of multiple pre-existing characters or create their own, and provides many paths to explore the game world, ensuring the highest degree of replayability. Meanwhile, the multiplayer component extends the life of the game and appeals to a large fan base that enjoys cooperative and competitive play.
