Note the title art's similarity to Planescape: Torment's style! Stonekeep 2 concept sketches: upper class citizen, port city prisoner, soldier, and cover art of Ulger the Cruel, main villain for the game. It seems odd that someone spent money for the rights to tack the Stonekeep name on a game destined to stink up bargain bins from its birth, but maybe it was just a move to keep the rights to the Stonekeep name. On the dark side of that, a Stonekeep title was recently, and very quietly, released as a crappy kid-friendly Wii game that has practically nothing to do with its PC predecessor.


The same who handled such titles as Planescape: Torment, Baldurs Gate and Fallout. What surfaced from that suggests wed have been looking at a very different game set several hundreds of years after the events of the first Stonekeep, but promisingly, a name mentioned as working on the game was Black Isle Studios. Despite my best hopes, the games intended sequel never got far out of the conceptual stages.
