They say that revenge is a dish best served cold and nothing screams revenge more than years of wrongful incarceration.

To celebrate the launch of Blackguards 2, Kalypso and Daedalic have revealed the official launch trailer, offering gamers a glimpse at the tense, tactical hexfield battles that await within this dark fantasy world based on the mythology of classic tabletop RPG ‘The Dark Eye’.
