Codemasters have released a new trailer for their upcoming licensed MMORPG Archlord.

he trailer movie reveals the importance of the Archons, the holy relics that players must unite in order to become the one supreme ruler of the game's world of Chantra.

The legend, which forms the back-story to ArchLord, tells of an ancient time when two mighty heroes from different races jointly held the Archons, using their power to unite the races. Fearing that the untold power of the Archons may bring death and disaster if they fell into the wrong hands, the heroes kept them safe and hidden. Now, one hundred years later, the legend of the two heroes has faded and the Archons are there to be claimed - if they can be found...

Featuring four minutes of stunning cinematic action, The Legend of Chantra: Episode II movie expands on the legend, the struggle for supremacy that brought death and decay to a once peaceful land and the resurrection of the ArchLord legacy.

Archlord is due to be available in Europe and North America later this year. To check out the new trailer, head over to the official Archlord website
