Age of Wulin Releases New Expansion on 25th November 2014
-
Seoul, South Korea – 3rd November, 2014 – WEBZEN, a global developer and publisher of free-to-play games, is delighted to announce that the martial arts MMORPG, Age of Wulin will release its second expansion on 25th November, officially ending the Open Beta Phase.
"Chapter3: Wisdom is a Journey" will be released in English and delivers a ton of exciting new features to the already expansive game, while also fundamentally revamping existing functions.
As of November, Age of Wulin players will benefit from two fundamental level cap enhancements, which each offer undiscovered heights for new and old players alike:
- Firstly, the character-specific strength cap will be increased by opening up the new, mysterious 4th Internal Skill of each of the 8 existing Sects, while also providing a greater level cap for non-Sect “Jianghu” Internal Skills.
- Secondly, the character-defining Sect skills will receive a critical upgrade; players will soon be able to perfect their martial art skills to the 8th and 9th levels.
On the path to these new heights, players will be able to test their newfound power in tougher, more challenging versions of existing dungeons, particularly the “Sect Forbidden Instances”. They can also bring their skills to the PvP arena, and take the opportunity to demonstrate their dominance in our two new PvP tournaments: The Dragon and Tiger Tournament & the Inter-Sect Tournament.
While the Inter-Sect Tournament focuses on Sect dominance by limiting the usable skills to only those available from your native Sect, the Dragon and Tiger Tournament is a more generic tournament with fewer restrictions. Both new competitions offer near-daily matches, leading up to weekend finals, with opportunities to win skill books and progression items along the way. Accompanying the Mount Hua Competition, our monthly in-game tournament, these two new functions bring Age of Wulin further up in the line of competitive PvP play.
The Age of Wulin team will regularly reveal more features on their website. Stay tuned for more: http://en.wulin.webzen.com/
