<img src="/https://www.celestialheavens.com/dmomm/ ... tonio6.jpg" align="right" hspace="10" vspace="10"><span class="postbody"> Just recently I had a fantastic chance to get in contact with Arkane Studios who are developing the very much anticipated Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Celestial Heavens organized a short Q&A with Arkane’s CEO and Creative Director <span style="font-weight: bold;">Raphael Colantonio</span>, exclusively for our readers!</span>

<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Celestial Heavens: </span>What was the most fun thing to do during the development? Do you recall any special moments that you won't forget for some time?</span>
<strong style="font-style: italic;">Raphael: </strong><span style="font-style: italic;">I clearly remember when we discovered how creating an icy surface made the the orcs slip on it. I think it was when we realized that we were right trying to create a simulated world where everything was possible. This was really fun. Also, the very first time that all the fighting mechanics came into place and that we realized it was actually going to be fun and unique!

</span>Among the questions CH also asked if Arkane has any plans to work on MM10 and Raphael...well, <span class="postbody">read the full interview </span><a href="/https://www.celestialheavens.com/618">here</a><span class="postbody"> and enjoy! Dark Messiah is expected to go gold in the next few days and will be released worldwide in the end of this October. That is a bit more than two weeks left - have you already preordered the game to receive it as soon as it’s released!? </span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span>

I clearly remember when we discovered how creating an icy surface made the the orcs slip on it. I think it was when we realized that we were right trying to create a simulated world where everything was possible.

That was an accident?Wow,talk about luck.

Yes of course, we pay a lot of attention to what fans are saying. We are also very curious and enthusiastic about what the guys have come up with by modding the demo. We’ve seen many crazy videos around on YouTube…

Those are good news indeed.A mod support would be a wellcoming thing if they decide to use it(and it seems they will).

Hehe, several hours after I wrote this news item Ubisoft announced that Dark Messiah has gone gold.

I'm waiting for the game to appear on Amazon.ca... Right now, only the strategy guide is there. Or maybe I'll wait until the day of the release.

Being foremost a crpg fan, I've decided not to buy any M&M games until Might and Magic X is released. If it gets released, I'll go back and buy Dark Mesiah and HoMM V. Gotta support my genre over all others I'll borrow a friend's copy if I feel the need to play either game before that time.
