A Word from the Team
Enhearten Media, the developers behind Sanctuary, couldn’t be more thrilled to share their progress. Director Nine2 recently shared his excitement:
“Hey guys, we’re headed to PAX to showcase Sanctuary in Melbourne from October 6th to 8th. PAX is the biggest gaming convention in the southern hemisphere, with about 110,000 people attending.
We’ll have the demo there, so you’ll be able to see Sanctuary with your own eyes and PLAY IT! I’ll be attending with Nate (programmer) and Avitus (Chosen modeller) to answer all your questions.
If you’re in Melbourne, pop along, don’t be shy, come and say hi—and tell us who you are!”
Why PAX Australia?
PAX Aus is the largest gaming celebration below the equator, drawing over 80,000 attendees last year. It’s a melting pot of developers, players, and creators coming together to share their passion for gaming. For Sanctuary, this is an unparalleled opportunity to reach new fans and showcase what sets the game apart from other RTS titles.
