Dark Age of Camelot: Labyrinth of the Minotaur |
Electronic Arts announced today Labyrinth of the Minotaur, the latest expansion to the PC epic fantasy MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot, which is currently in development at EA Mythic, formerly known as Mythic Entertainment. The expansion is scheduled to ship in the US in late 2006.
Walt Yarbrough, Producer of Dark Age of Camelot declared:
"I can't think of any better way to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Dark Age of Camelot than with the release of a new expansion for the players. This exciting, story-driven content will bring new thrills to an already vibrant and thriving game world. There is no better time to be playing Camelot than right now!"
As the story goes:
"The ancient race of Minotaur has returned to Camelot, seeking the help of the mightiest warriors from the three warring Realms. Powerful Minotaur Relics, long hidden and sealed away, have been unearthed, and their corrupting influence now threatens the world of Camelot."
"To combat this evil, Labyrinth of the Minotaur introduces the first new playable race to the Realms in two years, the Minotaur, powerful enough to wield two-handed weapons with a single hand. The introduction of this new race will allow even the most experienced players to look upon the world of Camelot with different eyes. In return for aiding their tribes, the Minotaur emissaries have agreed to share the secret of a new player class, the Mauler. Experienced players from any Realm can unlock this new brawling class, which has the ability to channel the elemental powers of the earth, and thus bring a new set of skills and abilities to the game for a fresh take on Player vs. Environment quests and Realm vs. Realm combat. In addition, the emissaries of the Minotaur can help any Champion of the Realms expand their powers and abilities with five new Champion Levels."
"In their search for the Minotaur Relics, players will journey beneath the Frontiers in order to explore the vast Labyrinth, the largest single dungeon in any MMO. This dungeon contains new PvE quests, new encounters, and challenging new areas for RvR combat. The Labyrinth is filled with great evil, even greater treasures, including new Mythical items. Players who recover one of the Minotaur relics may use the item, but with the knowledge that they also become targets. This new RvR game play will bring Camelot's popular relic raid experience to small groups on a daily basis."
Further scooping for information, we find out that the people who pre-order the expansion will receive an exclusive pet, the Clockwork Kitten, to accompany them on their journeys throughout the Realms.
