Running Shadow
I am not huge gamer by any means. I really don’t have much time for it personally. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t some games out there that I am looking forward to taking for a run. The upcoming running game from Game Insight is one of those games that just seems like it could be a real hit and a lot of fun. Today they have revealed a few more bits and pieces about the game that weren’t previously released when they teased it back in the middle of December.

Moscow and San Francisco – February 6, 2013 – Game Insight, a global leader in mobile and social games, proudly presents all-new information and assets for the next generation of running games, Running Shadow. The company has revealed new information and artwork on Hadrion, the mysterious metropolis in which the game takes place. Running Shadow will be released in the near future for Android devices and other platforms later.

Running Shadow represents an evolutionary leap forward that combines the easy-to-learn, intuitive gameplay of running games with deep role-playing game elements, a dark, gothic art style, and an intricate plot full of twists and turns. The game’s majestic city of Hadrion was built upon the ruins of the now-submerged Old Town. Beneath the city lie the Dwarven Caves and the eerie Dungeon of the Old Ones. The city has survived the ruinous reign of the Old Gods, who were callous and indifferent to their people, as well as the massive disaster known as the Flood, and the conflict known as the Rebellion.

Long ago, Hadrion was split into two parts: the Upper City and the Lower City. An unscalable wall was erected between the two partitions, and guarded day and night by the Royal Guard. The Upper City belongs to rich and powerful clans, whose clandestine operations are steeped in vice and decadence. Life in this area has long been characterized by inhuman cruelty, treachery, and murder. Meanwhile, the sprawling Lower City is a home to vagabonds, beggars, and thieves. The power players here are the Fraternity of Shadows, an elite society of master thieves, ruthless assassins, and other mercenaries free of pity and principle.

Running Shadow will offer a deep story with unexpected plot twists and a dark, gothic fantasy world. The game will also include a variety of unique environments to explore, including bright landscapes and grim dungeons, as well as a varied cast of characters. The game will be released in early 2014 for Android devices and appear on additional platforms in the future. The future of running games is coming soon—stay tuned for more updates on Running Shadow.

What good is an updated press release without some new images. While they didn’t send over any new screenshots or upload a new video, they did send over a few concept art images of Running Shadow.

I am pretty excited for this one to come out. I am sure it will be free with in-app purchases much like many of the other Game Insight games are. They have a chance to make a killing if they don’t over do it though, keep it simple like Temple Run or Despicable Me, where you CAN play all day, but if you spend a little money you get some good perks. Check out the video from back in December.

Game Insight is still sticking to an “early 2014″ release time frame and won’t give us a more narrowed down time frame. In my eyes, early is between January 1st and March 31st. So they have some time to meet my personal idea of an early 2014 release. Anyone else keeping their eyes open for this one?
