New screens: Art of Magic

Bethesda Softworks has released some new screenshots from its upcoming real-time strategy game Magic & Mayhem: The Art of Magic. The screenshots show off some of the spell effects and creatures that are included in the game. Players assume the role of powerful wizards who can fight battles using both direct offensive magic spells and summoning spells, which bring a number of different creatures under their control. As wizards progress through the game, they build experience and gain access to more powerful spells and creatures.

Magic & Mayhem: The Art of Magic features more than 50 different magic spells and 22 types of creatures. The single-player campaign includes more than 30 battles, and the multiplayer mode supports up to eight players over LAN or Internet connections. For more information, take a look at our preview of the game. Magic & Mayhem: The Art of Magic is scheduled for release later this year.
