I hope you've prepared yourself for the 23rd EverQuest expansion and the 13th EverQuest II expansion, as Daybreak Game Company launched both Empires of Kunark and Kunark Ascending earlier today. To help accompany a rush of nostalgia, they've also put together a launch trailer for the latter, so I'll embed that below:
And here are the official descriptions for each:
EVERQUEST: EMPIRES OF KUNARK
After decades of slumber, Imperator Tsaph Katta awakens and vows to reform the Combine Empire – the progenitors of much of the human race – by any means necessary. He will lead them into a renewed age of prosperity. With the former glorious capital of his nation, Katta Castrum, rebuilt in the treacherous lands of Kunark and renamed after his daughter Lcea, Tsaph Katta focuses on rebuilding the coalition between the races of Norrath. He vows to cement his place in the annals of history as The Great Unifier, but not all are ready to bend to the will of Katta and his allies, least of all the current inhabitants of Kunark. If Tsaph Katta is to unify the world, he will need to begin with the dangerous Sarnak of Chardok, drawing their attentions away from a newfound power. Will a unified Norrath prevail or will the Combine's arrival lead to a war of catastrophic proportions?
Make haste and return to the ruins of Kunark and choose your side in the coming turmoil.
Empires of Kunark is the 23rd EverQuest expansion. This expansion features new zones and dungeons, and must-have in-game items.
