In English, French and German this Thanksgiving

The Chronicles of Spellborn will release November 27th, the day before Thanksgiving. With World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King coming out just two weeks before hand, it may get overshadowed a bit, but it has enough unique characteristics that it shouldn't stay that way for long.

Frogster Interactive has announced a European release date for its offbeat European fantasy MMORPG, The Chronicles of Spellborn. The game will be released for PC on 27th November in English, French and German versions.

That puts it firmly in the shadow of World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King, which launches two weeks earlier on 13th November - not to mention Warhammer Online, which was released last week.

However, Spellborn has a few things going for it that will distinguish it from the competition. We had a brief go on it at the Leipzig Games Convention, and the highly unusual real-time combat system, reactive enemy AI, and stat-free, cosmetic weapons and armour all stood out.
