Angela Schierholz, Project director Games Convention Leipzig: "I think it is great that we will celebrate a double premiere on the Games Convention. Both the game, The Chronicles of Spellborn, can be seen by the public for the first time and the new rock songs from Within Temptation that will be performed live for the first time. It shows the importance of the Leipzig GC, that such a well known band wants to make such a performance on our convention."

Dirk Weyel, CMO with Frogster interactive: "We will make clear from the start that The Chronicles of Spellborn will be main topic of the games convention. Thanks to Within Temptation it is going to happen with a bang. Future plans for this cooperation between Within Temptation and The Chronicles of Spellborn will consist of a video-clip supported single release, an exclusive end of beta event and Spellborn art used as basis for the Within Temptation concert stage setup."
