Amaranth Games has just announced that Aveyond 3: Lord of Twilight, the upcoming third game in the Aveyond role-playing game series, will no longer be a single stand-alone title. According to the company's latest newsletter, Aveyond 3 will be split into two chapters and sold separately for $10 each.

The
bad news: because of this change, the release date has been pushed back from May to June. The good news: Amaranth Games plans to create brand new chapters every three months for you to play (instead of having to wait an entire year to play the latest Aveyond instalment.) What do you think? Sound off in the Aveyond 3 forum.
