Namco Bandai sent out a press release today with the official release date.
It really is February 5th, 2008.
SANTA CLARA, Calif., (December 5, 2007) – NAMCO BANDAI Games America announced today that a free Culdcept™ SAGA demo is now available for download on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Culdcept SAGA combines the luck and strategy of a board game with the depth of a trading card game to create a unique fusion of traditional turn-based play. The Xbox LIVE demo allows players to experience both the single and multiplayer portions of the game with two different gameplay modes.
In Culdcept SAGA, players move around a game board and attempt to claim ownership of land squares while battling enemy monsters. Players can customize their own unique decks, choosing from nearly 500 hand-illustrated cards with fearsome monsters, powerful spells and useful equipment. New cards can be unlocked by playing through the game’s single player and multiplayer modes, and players can also venture online with custom decks to participate in strategic clashes for up to four players on Xbox LIVE.
The newly released demo includes both single and multiplayer modes in which players can learn the rules of the game using several pre-made decks. The multiplayer portion of the demo allows up to four players to compete against one another on a single system, matching tactics and upgrading their minions in an addictive battle for territory.
Culdcept SAGA will launch for the Xbox 360 on February 5, 2008 for a suggested retail price of $39.99. For more information, please visit: www.namcobandaigames.com.
This is the first time Namco Bandai has ever given the game a hard release date. This is it. For reals. They've even updated their website (after months of neglect) to say "February 2008" www.namcobandaigames.com/games/culdceptsaga/
