Console Sacred 2 Could Use A Little Fixing (News)

May 14, 2009

CDV Software is quickly readying patches for the console versions of Sacred 2: Fallen Angel, fixing the online multiplayer of the PlayStation 3 version while making sure Xbox 360 customers get their pre-order bonuses.

Xbox 360 owners who pre-ordered the game from GameStop found that the redemption codes for their promised carrier imp bonus were not working, while PlayStation 3 users discovered that local co-operative game play couldn't be taken online as promised. CDV is currently actively working to fix these issues, according to updates scattered across their website and forums.
