WAGE WAR AND MAKE HISTORY WITH THE LAUNCH OF THE PC MMORTS DAWN OF FANTASY
Milton Keynes (UK) - 30 September - 505 Games, an international publisher of diverse video games, announced today that its massively multiplayer online real-time strategy game (MMORTS) Dawn of Fantasy is now available in stores. To mark the occasion, 505 Games and Reverie World Studios have released a spectacular new trailer, featuring fly-overs of some of the stunning in-game environments and detailing many of the in-game races. The trailer can be viewed and downloaded from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2FXWBwk3l4
Dawn of Fantasy's unique online real-time strategy gameplay introduces players to a new era of strategy gaming. Players take their chance to write their own chapter in the bloody history of the war-torn fantasy world of Mythador. Immersed in a vivid, living world, from the swamps of ErtheeL'Bala of the Wood Elves to the scorched dragon-inhabited lands of Sssilistra, players will explore a detailed world, interacting with native villagers or waging war on nearby armies and trade convoys. Adventurers will complete dozens of story-driven quests in one of three campaigns, and interact with thousands of other players through trading, forging alliances, and waging war in both Player vs Player (PvP) and Player vs Environment (PvE) battles.
Dawn of Fantasy enables players to build up villages into towns and then mighty strongholds, to manage a thriving, persistent economy, and to lay siege to enemy armies and citadels with great trebuchets, the brute strength of the walking woods, and fire-breathing dragon mercenaries to reign supreme.
Players can play as one of three different races elves, men and orcs, each of which offers a radically different play style and has been given a deep, compelling mythology, a dramatic, historical background, and a spectrum of complex political ambitions and sub-plots that drive the story and gameplay.
With a rare combination of the RTS and RPG genres in its persistent MMO environment, Dawn of Fantasy is definitely not your average RTS.
(We're incredibly excited to be bringing Dawn of Fantasy to an eager market of MMO and RTS fans,) said Ralph Pitt-Stanley, General Manager UK & Export for 505 Games. (The sheer level of depth, detail and destruction in the game along with copious amounts of online functionality should ensure players are bringing the fantasy fight to the realm of Mythador for many, many months to come.)
Developed by Reverie World Studios and published by 505 Games, Dawn of Fantasy is available to buy on PC DVD as of today. Visit www.dawnoffantasy.com for more information, community support, and many useful forums - full of facts, media and discussion threads.
