Stormcraft Studios, a Games Global exclusive studio, has launched the sequel to the legendary Immortal Romance™ where main characters Sarah, Michael, Troy, and Amber reunite to take on the supernatural underworld in Immortal Romance™ II.

Twelve years on from the release of Immortal Romance™, the sequel boasts four unique free spin features that can be triggered by landing three or more scatters in the base game. All four features offer 12 free spins with each one having different levels of volatility to keep players captivated throughout.

The game’s Jackpot Wheel has four character-themed jackpots which can be enhanced and activated through a unique gem collection mechanism, each showing a meter with the collection status. This meter will reset when that jackpot is won.

The Wild Desire™ feature is back and has been significantly upgraded to a 1,024 ways experience that can be triggered from two different parts of the game, either by landing the blood drop symbol on reels two and four, or within the Jackpot Wheel feature.

Stormcraft Studios has further enhanced the mechanic after listening to player feedback and added the brand-new Wild Desire™ Multiplier that can award up to 15,000x which amplifies the excitement.

The bloodline below the reels rewards players who reach certain spin milestones, with additional musical and visual themes to customise the player experience.

Immortal Romance™ II elevates the iconic first game with incredible cinematic win animations, as well as a powerful new original soundtrack, encapsulating the content that Stormcraft Studios has become synonymous for as it continues to forge unforgettable online gaming experiences.

Stormcraft Studios is driven by the core values of innovation, craftsmanship, and entertainment and are guided by decades of experience with an impressive portfolio of titles that have gone on to be industry blockbusters.

Terence Igesund, Executive Producer at Stormcraft Studios, said: “The release of Immortal Romance™ II has been a long time coming but we truly feel it has been worth the wait. The first game has gone down in industry history and we are thrilled to introduce the next chapter which adds new levels of excitement to the original experience that is so love by fans.

“With an array of new features combining with the engaging theme and story, we are sure that players will enjoy the next instalment as they go on their supernatural journey with our iconic quartet of characters.”

Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, added: “Immortal Romance™ II has been a title that we have been eagerly anticipating for many years and now that it’s here, we are excited for players to experience what the sequel has to offer.

“Stormcraft Studios has perfectly blended engaging features with compelling storytelling and this will be an outstanding addition to our portfolio. Much like the first game, we are sure that the sequel will become a worldwide success.”
