Avalanche develops Aionguard
Avalanche is developing the open-world fantasy game, AionGuard, which is revealed in the new issue of Edge magazine, reports CVG.
AionGuard looks like a war game on an epic scale, with armies of thousands, pilotable dragons soaring through the skies and magical beasts the size of houses smashing through the battlefield.
The game, which has been in development for two years and doesn't have a publisher yet, follows the powerful AionGuard forces, an elite force that merges for life with symbiotic armour, which grants them magical powers.
