EA EXPANDS DARK AGE OF CAMELOT® WITH LABYRINTH
OF THE MINOTAUR™ Grab the bull by the
horns in the seventh expansion to the epic fantasy MMORPG “I can’t think of any better
way to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Dark Age of Camelot than with the release of a new expansion for
the players,” said Walt Yarbrough, Producer of Dark Age of Camelot. “This exciting, story-driven content will
bring new thrills to an already vibrant and thriving game world. There is no
better time to be playing Camelot
than right now!” The ancient race of Minotaur
has returned to Camelot, and they
seek the help of the mightiest warriors from the three warring Realms. Powerful
Minotaur Relics, long hidden and sealed away, have been unearthed, and their
corrupting influence now threatens the world of Camelot. To combat this growing evil, Labyrinth
of the Minotaur introduces the
first new playable race to the Realms in two years – the Minotaur. Half man,
half bull, the Minotaur’s strength is so great he can wield two-handed weapons
with a single hand. The introduction of this new race will allow even the most seasoned
players to experience the world of Camelot
from an entirely new perspective. In return
for aiding their tribes, the Minotaur emissaries have agreed to share the
secret of a new player class, the Mauler. Experienced players from any Realm
can unlock this new brawling class. With the ability to channel the elemental
powers of the earth, the Mauler brings a new set of skills and abilities to the
game for a fresh take on Player vs. Environment (PvE) quests and Realm vs. Realm™
(RvR) combat. In addition, the emissaries of the Minotaur can help any Champion
of the Realms expand their powers and abilities with five new Champion Levels. In their
search for the Minotaur Relics, players will journey deep beneath the Frontiers
to explore the vast Labyrinth, the largest single dungeon in any MMO. This
dungeon contains exciting new PvE quests, new encounters, and challenging new
areas for RvR combat. The Labyrinth is filled with great evil, but even greater
treasures, including new Mythical items, which can be found by the bravest of
adventurers. Players who recover one of the Minotaur relics may use the item, but
become targets to be hunted by the other Realms. This new RvR game play will
bring Camelot’s popular relic raid experience to small groups on a daily basis.
Players
that pre-order the expansion will receive an exclusive pet, the Clockwork
Kitten, to accompany them on their journeys throughout the Realms. Further
details about the expansion will be revealed at the upcoming Roundtable Fan
Gathering on September 29-30 in Dark Age of Camelot:
Labyrinth of the Minotaur has not yet
