 |  We are very happy to announce that Trials of Atlantis, Dark Age of Camelot's second retail expansion, will ship on Tuesday October 28 - less than two weeks from now. You should see it in stores shortly thereafter - but you can always pre-order from your favorite online retailer such as Gamestop, EBworld, Amazon.com or retailer like Best Buy, Electronics Boutique, etc.
In many ways Trials of Atlantis is a new experience for players of Camelot. It is a fully featured role-playing module - much like a tabletop roleplaying campaign - where you start in one part of the expansion and work your way through it to the end by passing the nine Trials. Along the way you will learn about the ancient Atlanteans, hunt monsters in standard hunting grounds, find powerful Atlantean Artifacts (objects and weapons that can gain experience and grow in power as you use them), learn Atlantean Master Abilities with each Trial you pass, and much much more. Along the way there are many surprises and new things to see, learn, and decipher.
Gameplay in Trials of Atlantis takes place across the ruins of the ancient civilization. Half of the Atlantean continent is underwater, and half is above - giving Camelot its first underwater dungeons and exploration areas. In the remains of Atlantis you'll find dozens of new monster models created exclusively for Atlantis, thousands of new objects, dozens of new weapon models and armor skins.
Trials of Atlantis has many new technical features, including a massive graphics engine upgrade that updates the look of even the game's oldest terrain zones, as well as displays the new Atlantean areas with incredible realism and beauty. There's a new skinable interface that allows players to create their own interface skins (along with five or so that are included), a new high-definition terrain texturing system, new trees, underwater swimming, and lots more.
Stay posted to the Herald for documentation that will start to be posted later this week with more information on Trials of Atlantis. |  |
