    Ever wanted to play as a "noble lady" who's been proclaimed as a heretic in an action adventure title? Haemimont Games hopes that's high on our bucket list. The minds behind Tropico 3 and Grand Ages Rome have been revealed as the developer behind the newly announced The First Templar, an action title with a cooperative twist and no cover system to speak of (yet). 

    No Caption Provided
    As the name suggests, the game is based in the 13th century. You'll control either a French Templar or his partner, a noble lady, in a quest to "discover the secret of the Holy Grail" that'll take you across 20 "historically accurate" locations. According to the press materials, the game will feature on-the-fly switching between the two characters in single-player, and drop-in and drop-out co-op in multiplayer. It's also mentioned that each character will have his or her own special abilities, fueled by some sort of RPG development system that is influenced by level progression and exploration.  
     
    Four billion images from an alpha build have been released. Check them out.
        

    The First Templar is slated to hit the PC and Xbox 360 in Q1 2011--a quarter that is probably going to get even busier real fast-like if this year was a good indicator of future trends.

    If I get a quest revolving around chopping down a tree with a herring. I would only be mildly surprised.

    This looks really good. Haemimont has made some good RTSs over their time as big shot developers, and not to speak of Tropico 3. I'm really excited. This might be worth looking more into.

    Yes, it would be worth buying the game just so i could stab him multiple times. Preferably in the face. Or the throat. Whatever causes him to shut up faster.

    Could be interesting, unless they announce that the Noble Lady is actually a magician or something stupid.

    In that case I would recommend the throat. :)

    I got Tropico 3 when it was 75% off on Steam.  I should actually go play it some time, I liked the demo of it.
