The time to CAPTURE, TRAIN, RIDE and FIGHT hundreds of dragons has arrived! Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) and Infernum Productionstoday each announced the launch of Dragon’s Prophet — one of the largest dragon-based massively multiplayer online (MMO) games ever created in North America (published by SOE) and Europe(published by Infernum). In this free-to-play MMO, players fight alongside and against hundreds of unique dragons that roam the land, sea and air.
“Dragon’s Prophet combines an insane variety of powerful and majestic dragons with an action-based combat and end-game siege system to create one of the most unique gaming experiences for fantasy MMO enthusiasts,” said Todd Carson, Senior Producer of Dragon’s Prophet. “We know players are eager and ready for action and launch brings many exciting developments from Open Beta, including new dungeons, a level cap increase, a revamped Starting Zone, a World Boss and the much-anticipated Frontier System.”
“At last – the Day of the Prophet is finally here! Even though it’s always special to release a new game, MMORPGs play on a different level. Thanks to the help of our enthusiastic community as well as the tireless work of the developer, the home of Dragon’s Prophet now shines brighter than ever before,” saidKristian Metzger, Director of Product Management at Infernum. “Since the start of Open Beta in May, many thrilling features as well as new content packages have been added to the game while existing systems have been drastically improved. The 100+ pages full of patch notes are a testament of these efforts. Now Dragon’s Prophet offers everything an enthusiast of fantasy games could wish for: an engaging combat system, epic guild battles, challenging dungeons as well more than 300 mighty dragons – the best kind of companions you could imagine!”
Beginning today, players can participate in the open world Frontier System. This System allows players to construct unique houses, form Alliances of up to five guilds, and experience aerial and mounted combat. Aided by siege weaponry and Alliance Guardian Dragons, Alliances will engage in large-scare player-versus-player (PvP) wars to assert their superiority and achieve the ultimate prize – eventual control of different territories in the Auratian Sky Islands.
Aspiring Prophets can explore, fight new creatures, and battle through four new dungeons in Inartia. They can also take on a skeletal World Boss and new quests in Puretia. Live broadcast functionality has been integrated into Dragon’s Prophet, and players will be able to stream their dragon capturing and fighting experiences directly to the Twitch platform.
“We want to ensure that the player experience only improves and becomes more dragon-filled as we move forward,” said Tony Tang, Founder and Vice President of business development at Runewaker Entertainment. “We are continuing to work closely with both publishers, SOE and Infernum, to design exciting features to be implemented post-launch like dragon-versus-dragon arenas, a raid system and air-to-air combat.”
Along with regular updates, players will continue to see new exciting features, as well as dynamic storylines and content implemented into Dragon’s Prophet post-launch. On the horizon are challenging dungeon-based raids, dragon breeding, PvP arenas and battlefields, dragon encyclopedias and much more.
Developed by Runewaker Entertainment, Dragon’s Prophet takes place in the beautiful world of Auratia, a realm with a rich and tumultuous history. Players must band together to battle and train a variety of dragons as they work to restore order to the land. However, this is not an easy task; since his escape from his eternal prison, the Great Devouring Dragon known as Kronos is more dangerous than ever. Featuring an action-based combat system, Dragon’s Prophet provides players with visceral action gameplay in battles on land and across the skies. Dragon’s Prophet launches with plenty of customization options, including four distinct player classes to choose from – ranger, sorcerer, guardian or oracle – for creation of one-of-a-kind characters. Customizable player housing is also featured, allowing players to build, decorate and furnish their house however they want.
