The busy guys at Gamespot have tossed up a preview of Anarchy Online: Shadowlands. What was once an ugly duck in the MMORPG scene has turned into an enjoyable game, as people say. And AO: Shadowlands will add even more fun to this game, with better graphics and new lands to discover:
The Shadowlands will feature seven new environmental themes that were loosely inspired by Dante's The Divine Comedy. These new themes will make up 20 new playfields (in addition to Jobe). You will begin your quest in Nascence and Elysium, pastoral areas that resemble the paradise the Rubi-Ka once was. You'll then move to Sheol, a barren and rocky world littered with the remains of the ancient civilizations that once ruled Rubi-Ka. From Sheol, you will advance to Adonis, a half-submerged world in which you will battle with incarnations of the elements: fire, water, and air. Once you've completed your tasks, you will move on to Penumbra, a frigid, icy realm whose bizarre landscape consists of deformed mountainous ridges and rocks that float in midair. After Penumbra, you will tackle Inferno, a fiery realm full of lava rivers bordered by groves of dead trees. Finally, you will end your quest in the realm of Pandemonium, a perilous land of utter chaos. |
