"Over the course of the past year, Wolfpack has worked hard to bring the vision of Shadowbane into tighter focus. Shadowbane: Throne of Oblivion makes sweeping changes to Shadowbane’s core dynamic, bringing the elder game to a level that is unprecedented in online massive multiplayer games today,” said Frank Lucero, Shadowbane’s producer. “We are quite pleased with how Shadowbane: Throne of Oblivion turned out. We made drastic improvements in the mechanics and performance of Shadowbane and are eagerly anticipating opening the gates to Oblivion today!”
Shadowbane: Throne of Oblivion marks the first time in an MMORPG that players can play Vampire characters. The Vampires’ clothing and armor will spotlight their supernatural power and allure and demonstrate the appeal of these creatures while exploring a new visual direction for Shadowbane. Their unique powers, strengths, and weakness will add new layers and tactics to the Shadowbane PvP landscape.
New classes, including the Nightstalker, Necromancer, and disciplines including Vampire bloodlines and four new siege disciplines will also debut in Shadowbane: Throne of Oblivion. Existing classes and disciplines will be updated to account for the arrival of the undead legions, and new weapons will add new dimensions to the existing power dynamic, forcing players to make new strategic decisions.
Shadowbane: Throne of Oblivion will also feature graphical enhancements, shown off to their fullest in new adventuring areas with all-new high-level content and more information may be found on the official Shadowbane community Website, The Chronicle of Strife: chronicle.ubi.com.
