More Devil's Catacomb Details Emerge, Possible Itemshop Restrictions

News Of YMIR Games

Firstly, more artwork and images / screenshots related to the new devil's catacomb expansion due soon for official Metin2 servers.

Not only that, but 2 proper trailers have since shown up, one a full minute long and the second half a minute:






Lastly comes an announcement from Gameforge, which while revealing that the Catacomb will have multiple "floors", likely in a similar fashion to Demon Tower, states that some floors will be accessible via paid services only.

We know you are eagerly waiting for more information about the Devil's Catacombs. Right now most key features of the new content are still in an early development phase, so we cannot provide a release date yet. Please note that as we continue to update you about the development process during the upcoming weeks, some of the information might be subject to change in later stages of development.

Now one of the biggest question right now is whether the Devil's Catacombs is exlusively available as paid content. While some floors will be free to play, higher levels of the Catacombs will be accessible through our paid services.

The Devil's Catacombs will feature at least 7 floors filled with new challenges and threats. Monsters never seen before will prevail the depths of the Catacombs, so if you dare to follow the path that leads through the Gates, your chances of seeing daylight again will wane. Fight your way down and be the first to conquer all new bossmonsters carrying exciting new loot.

Will you dare to descent?

Evidently, the catacomb may end up somewhat like the Spider Dungeon, where the second floor is accessible only by either handing in Passes to an NPC, or purchasing item mall bonus packages. There is no word yet on what other publishers plan to do regarding restricted areas of the catacomb.
