DISCOVER DARK AGE OF CAMELOT'S NEW FRONTIERS

This autumn, Dark Age of Camelot pushes the envelope with the European release of New Frontiers, the second free expansion of the game that revolutionises player confrontations.

After Shrouded Isles, Foundations, and Trials of Atlantis, Dark Age of Camelot, the unique world developed by Mythic Entertainment and published by Wanadoo in Europe, benefits from a redesign of its frontiers, with two purposes:
- Accessibility: beginners as well as experienced players can now take part in the realm wars, and
- New emotions: the players are dropped in the middle of epic scale battlefields

This autumn, all players will be invited to download for free the fourth add-on, New Frontiers, from www.camelot-europe.com.

On the MMORPG market (massively multiplayer roleplaying games), Dark Age of Camelot is the only game to offer the RvR system (Realm versus Realm combat). To better establish and prove the worth of this original gameplay, Mythic Entertainment has completely revamped the system to make it more accessible and much more epic.

This exclusive add-on offers players the opportunity to engage in great battles, no matter their skill or experience. Nine 'Battlegrounds' have been created to enable the players to learn the rules of combat. The goal of these training grounds is to better prepare for the final assaults in the new frontier zones. In addition, user friendly tools have been added: a map of the conflict updated in real time, the possibility to teleport along a supply line to get faster to the front line, the reorganized siege engine system now available to all...

Moreover, the mass battles between realms are made even greater by the four major advances introduced in New Frontiers:
- A new configuration system for the keeps enables the players to personalize the fortifications and see the modifications in game.
- Guard towers now flank the big keeps, offering challenges adapted for both the small groups of players and the massive armies of the big guilds.
- The geography of the zones has been redesigned to intensify the strategic challenges: deep valleys, cities in ruins, frightening swamps, dark forests, as many dangerous and exciting environments to discover.
- Besides their simplified interface, the siege weapons now benefit from major new features: the player will be able to pour cauldrons of boiling oil on the besiegers, trigger catapults, watch their boulders cross the skies to finally crash on the walls of the enemy keep, and even mount siege engines on battleships to bring death and destruction in the heart of the enemy territory.

To complete these new features, Dark Age of Camelot: New Frontiers offers once again a new state-of-the art and spectacular graphical and audio environment, where the heroes rushing toward death or glory will fight their fears and carry on battling, in the clash of combat.

In 2002, Dark Age of Camelot revolutionized the genre with its RvR system. In 2004, the revolution continues!
