DAOC: Catacombs completes production

By Quinton Miles

Mythic Entertainment revealed tonight that their new MMORPG, [i]Dark Age of Camelot: Catacombs[/i], has officially gone gold. As the latest expansion pack to the [i]Dark Age of Camelot[/i] series, [i]Catacombs[/i] will improve graphics and aim to lead the pack in MMORPGs with the improved ability to customize a character’s appearance.

“‘Catacombs’ is ‘Dark Age of Camelot’ as you’ve never seen ? or played ? before. Everyone will be blown away by the new character and monster models. It looks like a whole new game,” said Mark Jacobs, president and CEO of Mythic Entertainment. “Instanced dungeons have been a mainstay of MMORPGs for many years, and before that in some standalone games and early MUDs.

Our ‘Private Adventuring’ areas present ‘Catacombs’ players with enough challenges to keep them exploring this subterranean realm of new dungeons and underground cities for a long time to come, ensuring a ‘freshness’ to the game that is difficult to maintain in many MMORPGs. And, as if that’s not enough, there are also the five new character classes which bring new strategic elements and story to the game.”

Look for [i]Catacombs[/i] to hit stores shelves on November 7 for the PC. It will retail for $29.99.
