Anarchy Online: Shadowlands
by VGLN Staff

Tuesday, July 1, 2003

August is the month that the new AO expansion pack will be brought to the public.

Shadowlands is the highly anticipated expansion pack for Funcom's
award-winning massively multi-player online game, Anarchy Online.
After 18 months in development, Funcom reveals 26th of August as the
final release date.

Shadowlands will bring lots of unique and creative elements to the
online role playing genre. With an impressive amount of new features
the expansion pack almost doubles the content in the game, one of many reasons the gaming press has been very positive in their previews.

The approach taken in crafting this unique world is based on two years of experience running an online world, and the expansion is tailored to both new and existing players. "We wanted to make something totally unique and original" says Game Director Gaute Godager, "with graphics, depth, ambience and game play like no other online title".

Feature Highlights

- 20 new play-fields across seven distinct themes
- Hundreds of new monsters with improved AI
- Two new professions; Shade and Keeper
- The floating city of Jobe
- Thousands of new weapons, armour and items
- Enhanced graphics
- Faction system
- Hundreds of Perks, a way to specialize your character further
- Increased level cap, 220
- Shadowbreed, unlock your inner powers
- New music and audio
- And much more...

The expansion pack will include the full version of Anarchy Online,
Anarchy Online - Notum Wars and Anarchy Online - Shadowlands, as well
as one month of included game-time for new accounts. Suggested retail
price is 29.99 US Dollars/Euro. Customers who pre-order Shadowlands
are entitled to an exclusive luxury apartment in the floating city of
Jobe.
