New Shots: Arcanum

GameSpot has received eight exclusive new screenshots of Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magic Obscura. The new screenshots show some of the game's combat sequences, as well as a number of its spell effects.

Arcanum will be a role-playing game that draws upon both traditional fantasy RPG traditions, such as magic spells and mythical monsters, and industrial elements, such as steam engines, primitive robots, and crude firearms. Arcanum will also feature an open-ended story that takes place during an industrial revolution in a fantasy realm, and it will let players create a party that will grow stronger as time passes based on improving skill sets rather than static character levels.

Arcanum is scheduled for release this fall.
