Asheron’s Call Movie and Interview

Following the unveiling of Asheron's Call with 3D-accelarated support at last week's Gamestock, Microsoft and the MSN Gaming Zone revealed the availability of a time-lapse Asheron's Call movie displaying the compelling day/night effects that a player will experience within the world of Dereth.

Asheron's Call Movie and Interview hits the March 1999 news desk on March 8, 1999. Following the unveiling of Asheron's Call with 3D-accelarated support at last week's Gamestock, Microsoft and the MSN Gaming Zone revealed the availability of a time-lapse Asheron's Call movie displaying the compelling day/night effects that a player will experience within the world of Dereth.

In addition to the movie release, Turbine Entertainment's Toby Ragaini, lead designer of Asheron's Call, offers insight into these striking effects in an exclusive interview. The interview, as well as the movie download, is available now on a newly created Web page for Asheron's Call. Not every story comes with screenshots, but this is the sort of move that changes what players actually see later.
