Developer DRAGO Entertainment starts into the new year with plans to revamp the whole UI system of its free to play Sci Fi MMORPG OTHERLAND until summer. In addition to that, an expansion is scheduled to be released later this year. The franchise celebrates its 21-years anniversary and the MMORPGs upcoming improvements will peak the long journey to create a digital resemblance of the OTHERLAND universe.
1997 saw the publication of “City of Golden Shadows”, the first novel of the acclaimed and best-selling OTHERLAND tetralogy by Tad Williams, that has become a lynchpin of cyberspace-related Science Fiction literature.
21 years later the MMO game that brought Williams’ fascinating virtual multiverse to PCs is celebrating the coming of age of its source material with a maturation process of its own.Developer DRAGO Entertainment has already made great improvements to the games entry, tutorial, combat, class skills, character customization and overall performance while entirely overhauling complete game zones like Lambda Mall and Bad Sector. Currently the UI is undergoing a complete redesign slated to be released in Summer. Furthermore the developer is working on a series of quality of life improvements and a large content expansion.
In the Unreal Engine-powered Action MMORPG OTHERLAND, based on the eponymous best-selling novels by Tad Williams, players explore a series of virtual worlds, each with a completely unique look, but connected by an overarching storyline: The fantasy world 8Squared, the cyberpunk inspired Bad Sector, the Chinese mythology based 5Isle, vast jungles of Bug World, the steampunk-ish planet Mars and the social and shopping hub of Lambda Mall.
Thanks to its unique setting, OTHERLAND features an innovative and very detailed crafting system, classes that can fulfill multiple roles and game worlds with in-depth lore.
Features:
- Quest-driven MMORPG with 4 character classes and 8 character roles
- PVE focus with additional PvP features such as battlegrounds
- Action-based combat with WASD-controls and direct mouse aim and optional target lock
- Outstanding virtual reality setting with 7 uniquely designed and distinct game worlds with a compelling story based on Tad Williams’ best-selling novels
- An in-depth crafting system that leaves looks, stats and upgrades in the hands of players rather than crafting predefined items
- Dungeons and challenges for groups and solo players
- U|Space player housing and ClanLand for clans
