Turbine has announced the release of the first content module for its latest MMO, Dungeons and Dragons Online: Stormreach. Games Press has the following press release from the company.
WESTWOOD, MA – April 6, 2006 – Turbine, Inc. announced today the release of the first content module for DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE™: Stormreach™ (DDO), the hit game that has quickly become one of the fastest-growing MMOG (massively multiplayer online game) in North America. The Dragon’s Vault module, the first in a series of modules to be released by Turbine, pits players against a legendary foe – the red dragon - in a new large-scale raid feature. Turbine will offer the Dragon’s Vault module free of charge for all current DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE™ subscribers as a way to say “thank you” to all of its fans. DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® is under license from the Hasbro Properties Group, the intellectual property development arm of Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS).

“The Dragon's Vault is a thrilling series of adventures, ending in an epic battle against the ultimate boss monster,” said Jeffrey Anderson, president and CEO of Turbine, Inc. “We are offering this exciting new content free to our subscribers, in recognition of their enthusiasm for DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE.”

The Dragon’s Vault module features 15 compelling dungeons that provide a variety of additional content for advanced players in the game, including surprises around every corner that will challenge the most jaded adventurer. The Dragon’s Vault is the first in a series of planned modules that will provide new content and features for DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE. Turbine plans to release additional modules over time that will include new content, features, and other improvements to the hit MMOG.

Published by Atari, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATAR) in February, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE, has been enthusiastically received by many gaming critics, including The New York Times, PC Gamer, Game Informer and many more.

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE: Stormreach recreates the essence of the classic pen-and-paper roleplaying experience - with an emphasis on non-grinding, instanced quests that provide a unique, immersive experience for each party. Authentic features in the game include customizable characters; dungeons filled with devious traps; monsters and stories from the Eberron® campaign setting; an on-screen d20 (20-sided die) and a dungeon master. The unique online world of Stormreach is a bustling city with thousands of players from around the world. It represents a new paradigm for the MMO genre with unique features including party-based quests, integrated voice chat, real-time action combat, and award winning graphics. DDO is based on the world-renowned DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® brand franchise from Wizards of the Coast, Inc., a subsidiary of Hasbro.

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE: Stormreach is currently available in retail stores for $49.99. Additional information can be found at www.ddo.com.
