Popular MMORPG titles return to Europe with new expansions

Asheron's Call®, the classic MMO brand, is returning to Europe as Codemasters announces securing the European distribution rights to Asheron's Call: Throne of DestinyTM and Asheron's Call 2: LegionsTM from Turbine, Inc.

The two expansions for Turbine's fantasy epic services, Asheron's Call: Throne of Destiny and Asheron's Call 2: Legions, will launch in Europe in May for PC and retail at £19.99 RRP each.

Both games will include content from the original games, new exciting content from the expansions, massive amount of content from Turbine's regular service, and one month's free subscription.

Asheron's Call: Throne of Destiny is the second major expansion for the classic MMO, boasting a 5-year heritage and an overhauled visual engine, making the game more immersive than ever.

An epic storyline pits players against the encroaching menace of the Viamontians, a new race bent on conquering Dereth. In the battle to defeat these would-be rulers, the people of Dereth uncover new depths, players experience a massive story line and participate in a bitter struggle for power.

With new weapons, armour, rare items and quests, there's also a new high-level play system that rewards players with skill credits. Players can also now choose to play Asheron's Call as the warlike Viamontians and explore their unique archipelago in the North of Dereth.

Asheron's Call 2: Legions is the long-awaited expansion to the award-winning MMO fantasy RPG, Asheron's Call 2: Fallen KingsTM.

In this extensive update, join thousands of players to uncover the secrets of the mystical, once-mighty magical Empyrean race. In the world of Dereth, a massive new continent has been discovered – along with an ominous new evil that threatens to consume the entire world and everything within it.

Challenging players to expand their world, decode ancient mysteries and aim for new levels of power with a new Hero System, Asheron's Call 2: Legions is a classic tale of mystery and discovery, as the mystical Empyrean's return to rediscover their lost purpose and their immense powers.

Codemasters will publish both Asheron's Call: Throne of DestinyTM and Asheron's Call 2: LegionsTM in May for PC.
