Demos will give players a chance to test single and multiplayer gameplay.
Sony Online Entertainment announced that it will soon be releasing three separate playable demos for its forthcoming real-time strategy (RTS) game, Lords of EverQuest. Each demo allows the player to sample the game's tutorial missions and play one of three factions via online multiplayer. Lords of EverQuest is expected to ship to U.S. and Canadian retail stores this Fall.
The first demo for the Shadow Realm faction will be available exclusively via download from GameSpot.com (http://www.gamespot.com) beginning on September 19. The second demo, featuring the Elddar Alliance, will be available initially via download from NVIDIA's NZone website (http://www.nvidia.com/nzone) on September 29, and at select retail partners including GameStop and Electronics Boutique beginning October 6. The final demo, for the game's still-unannounced third faction will be available exclusively on the demo disc off the November 2003 issue of Computer Games Magazine. As an added incentive for players to collect all three Lords of EverQuest demos, having all three demos installed unlocks a special bonus multiplayer map.
