Bigpoint has announced a new update for their hit MMO ‘Drakensang Online’. The update will expand the world of the game to the deep depths of the ocean, add quests and many new monsters.
Over 8 million players have already registered with the game, according to a press-release sent out this morning from the publisher. This latest update is the “Biggest update yet adds new continent, more than 100 new quests and hordes of new monsters”.
Bigpoint talks about the new ‘Atlantis’ addition in the game, with a prepared statement:
The glory that was Atlantis has been hidden beneath the swollen waters of the Sea of Shards, the century-long battle versus good and evil hidden below the surface of the seas. But now the heroes of Duria explore the depths to fight the rebel Gorgons in the name of the Atlanteans and to secure the blessings of the God of the Sea Oceanus.
Players will have the chance to test their might against mythical creatures and warriors of a bygone empire in over 100 quests found in eight new areas of Atlantis. Find out as much as you can about the ruins of the sunken city to defeat the colossal snake Gorga that has brought about destruction of an entire population. With a completely revamped world map, players can easily see an overview of their progress through the world of Drakensang Online.
“In Drakensang, we’re always bringing new features and content to the table with our weekly updates. This Atlantis update is the biggest expansion we’ve taken on so far, ever since we started working on Drakensang Online over a year ago,†said Bernd Beyreuther, Head of Game Production at Bigpoint Berlin.
