New Content Module Brings Players to the City of Necropolis
Turbine, Inc. announced today the release of the third content module
for DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE: Stormreach (DDO), the first and
only massively multiplayer online (MMO) roleplaying game based on the
world-renowned DUNGEONS & DRAGONS brand franchise from Wizards of
the Coast, a subsidiary of Hasbro. The Litany
of the Dead Part One module pits players against Brother Salasso, the
fearsome Vampire. Turbine will offer the Litany of the Dead Part One
module free of charge for all current DDO subscribers. DUNGEONS &
DRAGONS is under license from the Hasbro Properties Group, the
intellectual property development arm of Hasbro.
"We've been
very busy since the launch of DDO adding content and improving features
in the game," said Jeffrey Anderson, president and CEO of Turbine, Inc.
"The Litany of the Dead is the first of a three part story that
delivers epic quests, fearsome monsters and one of the best MMO
experiences available today."
The Litany of the Dead Part One
module features five compelling new dungeons that provide a variety of
additional content for advanced players in the game, including
surprises around every corner that will challenge the most jaded
adventurer. The Litany of the Dead Part One is the first in a series of
three planned modules that will provide new content and features for
DDO. Turbine will continue to release additional modules over time that
add new content, features, and other improvements to the hit MMOG.
Published
by Atari, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE has been
enthusiastically received by many gaming critics, including The New
York Times, PC Gamer, Game Informer and many more.
