Shortly after the game is released this week, Troika Software will provide a patch for Arcanum. The patch will include such upgrades as a full-screen mode, allowing players to toggle the interface on and off, an inventory right-click feature to facilitate the use of items and improved follower lock-picking abilities and equipment feedback. Graphics performance on video cards with large caches will also be improved.

Arcanum takes place on a fantasy world with technology and magic co-existing in a state of uneasy tension. A wide variety of races and characters are available, and will have a wealth of skills to be learned, ensuring that each character will be unique. The game will sell for a suggested retail price of $44.95.
