Haarlem, The Netherlands – 23 July 2010 – Kalicanthus Entertainment leading Italian massive multiplayer online games (MMOG) developer and publisher, announced today that it has secured a distribution deal with Iceberg Interactive for Benelux and Scandinavia for its massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) Craft of Gods. Iceberg Interactive also acquires the non-exclusive digital rights for direct downloads.

“We're really looking forward to start working with Iceberg” states Fabrizio Calì, Kalicanthus’ CEO. “It's a great opportunity to be collaborating with such an online game experienced high profile partner which will help us, both in retail and digital, pushing the project further and reaching new important channels through different territories".

Erik Schreuder, CEO for Iceberg Interactive says: “We’re very pleased to add more MMO mojo to our portfolio, MMO being part of our forward moving strategy. Craft of Gods is an exciting and very good looking RPG, literally a game of choice, targeted at a somewhat older RPG audience that is tired of the genre-evergreens. The mix of retail and online rights for Craft of Gods makes the deal very interesting for us.”

Created by Russian developer studio Cyberdemons, Craft of Gods is a new 3D fantasy MMORPG based on Slavic mythology. Set in a huge world with 25 different maps, Craft of Gods provide players with a great Realm versus Realm (RvR) and Player versus Player (PvP) experience, but it will also appeal to Player versus Environment (PvE) oriented gamers. Players can choose between 6 different races divided into 3 factions (Light, Darkness and Neutral) and create their character that can then be completely customized; in facts there are no classes in Craft of Gods, only skills: each player can choose from 14 schools of skills, each containing 15 powers – for a total of 210 different skills that assure a great depth of customization.

Craft of Gods is planned to hit retail shelves in Benelux and Scandinavia early September. To learn more about the game please visit www.craftofgods.eu.
