- Biggest update yet adds new continent, more than 100 new quests and
hoards of new monsters
- More than 8 million registered players now battling it out in Bigpoint's
fantasy MMO
July 5, 2012 - 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. In the biggest ever update
for Drakensang Online,
Bigpoint introduces tons of new additions
to the fantasy MMO, including a completely new continent, over 100 new quests,
as well as hordes of new monsters. And with now more than 8 million registered
users, the battles are sure to be action-packed!
"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.
Players will have the chance to test their might against mythical creatures and
warriors of a bygone empire in the over 100 quests that can be found in the
eight new areas of Atlantis. Find out as much as you can about the ruins of the
sunken city so you can defeat the colossal snake Gorga that brought about the
destruction of an entire people. Thanks to the totally revamped world map,
players can easily see an overview of their progress through the world of
Drakensang Online.
Drakensang Online combines the best game elements of action role-playing games
and MMOs so that players can battle hoards of despicable monsters, explore
mysterious caverns and complete challenging quests with their friends. Whether
it is as a Dragonknight, Spellweaver or Ranger, users can enter into the
free-to-play world of Drakensang Online directly in their browser without having
