Funcom Confirms Shadowlands Release Date

Anarchy Online: Shadowlands
coming 26th of August

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.
