Nine Parchments Has Been Announced For PS4, Xbox One and PC
It was announced by Finnish game developer Frozenbyte, that their new game Nine Parchments – A co-operative blast’em up game of magic mayhem that takes the studio back to its fantasy roots – is currently under development for PC, PS4 and Xbox One, slated for a 2017 release.
Check out the announcement trailer of Nine Parchments, featuring some gameplay footage:
“The story of the game revolves around a group of drop-out wizard apprentices, who’ve decided to skip their training for a quick path to the Nine Parchments.
As the wannabe wizards rapidly discover powerful new spells and ignore all safety aspects, it’s only natural that their hasty progress results in lots of unwanted deaths.
Frozenbyte will be showing a playable version of the game at the Indie Arena at gamescom this year.

Frozenbyte is an independent game developer with a focus on game quality. Our company was founded in 2001 and we are currently one of the biggest, truly independent high-end developers in Finland. All our games are self-funded and based on self-owned IP. Our number one priorities are both the quality of our games and the well-being of our team, with tight deadlines and the financial side taking a backseat.
rozenbyte was founded in 2001 and our office is based in Helsinki, Finland. We started with only a handful of people, but currently we have about 70 employees.
Our work is our passion and we want to create the very best games – and while we work hard, we also want to have fun doing what we love! We believe happy employees are essential to making great games, which is why we constantly strive to improve things around the office. For example, we have a Catering staff that prepares breakfast and home-made lunch each day, and we also have a sauna department for after-work relaxing.”
