The Dwarves are tough - made from stone by their god Vraccas, they are rough warriors and skilled craftsmen. The love for all kinds of metal is in their blood and there is only one kind of music to complement the thunder of their sledgehammers and the clash of their battleaxes: metal!

Developer KING Art is happy to announce that today a cooperation with the legendary band Blind Guardian has been arranged: Not only will musicians from Blind Guardian perform parts of The Dwarves OST in their own unique style but there will also be a special quest involving Blind Guardian in the game. To perfectly blend that into the fantasy-world of Girdlegard, the developers from KING Art and Blind Guardian are cooperating closely with the author of The Dwarves book series.

A new video shows the visit by some developers of Blind Guardian’s studio, where members of the band are playing The Dwarves for the first time. Watch below:

A crowdfunding campaign for The Dwarves started furiously and is only hours away from passing its 80%-line, having gathered more than 4,000 backers who have pledged over 200,000 $ so far - and there are still 15 days of funding left! A variety of stretch goals has also been revealed. Supporters will be able to vote for either a cooperative Multiplayer, a brand-new character with its own unique skills & story, different new games modes such as New Game Plus or a Horde-Mode and more.
