Champions of Norrath: Realms of EverQuest is the upcoming third-person action RPG from Sony Online Entertainment and developer Snowblind Studios. The game is set in the rich world created for SOE's popular massively multiplayer online RPG EverQuest for the PC and last year's EverQuest Online Adventures for the PlayStation 2. You'll play as a hero tapped to defend the realm from the machinations of Innoruuk, the local hate god who's bent out of shape after being denied his chance at shaping the world like the rest of the gods in the pantheon. Rather than quietly stew at the snubbing, Innoruuk stirs up a heap of trouble for Norrath, which you'll have to stop in order to restore order. Champions of Norrath was originally slated to ship this year, but the release date has moved to next year to ensure the game comes together well. While we got a taste of what to expect in our previous looks, the latest version we tried gave us a more-complete sampling of what this promising game will offer.
