Developer SparklingBit and publisher THQ Nordic have announced Sacred: Last Pixel of Ancaria, the first new entry in the classic RPG series in over a decade, with a Kickstarter campaign coming soon.

Sacred: Last Pixel of Ancaria is not a remake or remaster, but rather a reimagining of the classic 2004 action RPG, based heavily on the original with some modern touches and changes.

To complete development, SparklingBit and THQ Nordic are asking fans to back the game on Kickstarter, with the campaign starting on April 14, 2026.

Back to Ancaria’s Roots

Embracing the 2004 original Sacred, Last Pixel of Ancaria features a classic 16-bit 2D pixel art style, with players controlling four heroes, some long-term fans may recognize.

This time, SparklingBit says they’re leaning more towards humor, with “good jokes, bad jokes, nostalgic winks, and dirty laughs around every corner.”

Additionally, players will encounter familiar locations, including the Seraphim Monastery and Shaddar Tower. There is a lot of content, such as dungeons, looting and “pixel chaos”.

Community Funding: Support Your Next Chapter

It’s been a while since fans have looked forward to a new Sacred game, and Ancaria’s Final Pixel is the perfect opportunity to support the franchise and its future.

While specific goals or additional targets have not been announced, the Kickstarter campaign will begin on April 14. There will likely be opportunities to unlock exclusive rewards and new in-game features.
