We regret to inform you that there will be no Episode 2 for the video game Vesper. Sales to date have been too low to allow us to invest in a sequel.
However, we have maximized Episode 1 to offer a complete gaming experience, including 11 playable characters, 300 missions, 100 arcane cards, 100 summons, 200 active and passive powers and 400 items.
The adventures of Vesper continue beyond Episode 1 in comic book. The saga of Vesper is complete in 4 books.
We would like to thank everyone who supported us.
