Demonicon to use The Dark Eye ruleset

Kalypso Media has announced that Demonicon will be using German pen-and-paper roleplaying game The Dark Eye's sourcebook and ruleset, and will be renamed The Dark Eye: Demonicon. The Dark Eye has long been the German equivalent of Dungeons & Dragons, debuting in 1984.

Kalypso Media Group's Simon Hellwig beamed, "By integrating the official The Dark Eye rules, DEMONICON becomes the must have title in the hearts and minds for the fans of The Dark Eye world and creates a new and exciting brand for fans of action role playing games to experience.”

The Dark Eye: Demonicon is a Diablo-style action RPG currently being developed by Berlin-based Noumena Studios and is due to be released on PC and Xbox 360 in 2012.
