Announcing: Embers of Rage

My minions, I have teased it, I have talked about it, but I never actually officially announced it!

 

One year has passed since the one they call the Scourge from the West came and single-handedly destroyed most of the Orc Prides. The Sunwall, now possessing a Farportal, have entered an economic and millitary pact with the Allied Kingdoms in the west and conquered most of Var'Eyal. The few remnants of the Prides are caged. But by chance the Scourge missed the Kruk Pride, which now stands as the only orc settlement left. Isolated on an island they too however face impending doom. Besieged by the Sunwall they are barred from entering the mainland and on their own island they are at war with a technologically advanced civilization of giants. Their only hope is to reverse-engineer their steam-powered technology and bring metal mayhem to all the foes of the Pride.

 

Embers of Rage is the second expansion for Tales of Maj'Eyal. The concept and start of the development is now about three years old but in the last year it has picked up pace a lot, and now I am happy to say the release is getting close!

But what does it bring exactly?

  • A new story to play through, set in the Far East continent (that the orcs call Var'Eyal) which continues the story of the world.
  • A full length campaign that will see your characters fight from level 1 to 50
  • Play as an Orc and reclaim your land and future
  • Unlock another -secret- race
  • Play as a Sawbutcher, a melee battle-engineer that uses both his cunning for technology and his trusty steamsaws to bring hot steamy metal mayhem to his foes
  • Play as a Gunslinger, a steamgun dual wielding master-sharpshooter capable of amazing feats of pure steamy badassness
  • Unlock other -secret- classes
  • Unlock the possibility to play the new classes in the vanilla campaign, because why not!
  • Use the tinker system to craft some technological wonders to attach to your objects to become more versatile. Need more mobility? use Rocket Boots. Want to fire ammo without a launcher? attach a Hand Cannon to your gloves!
  • Save yourself with versatile medical salves; inflexible runes and infusions are so old-school!
  • Choose from six new prodigies, available even in the vanilla game
  • Unearth long lost mysteries of the past and discover sinister plots in some thrilling new lore to discover
  • And obviously discover a huge number of new zones, artifacts, creatures, achievements, talents, ... It is after all a full campaign!
  • All while listening to custom made musics for each zones

 

Now my minions, you simply need to wait patiently in line while your local God of Darkness prepares to unleash the Embers of Rage upon you!

Cant wait!

HYPE!

HYPE!

Oh, this is pretty bad-ass. I

Oh, this is pretty bad-ass. I came back to the the game after a two year hiatus just in time! :)

oh boy...the sunlight will

oh boy...the sunlight will never see me again!

oh my god

AMAZING NEWS

Will we be seeing any new zones added to vanilla? Maybe taken straight from the new campaign.

YEAH!!!!! THE HYPE IS REAL!

I'll buy this as soon as it's out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am so fucking hype

i am so fucking hype

We steampunk now?

So are new classes available to old races and vice versa?

yup!

yup!

Awesome!

Awesome!

gimme :(

  • grabby hands*

Hype

Fuck yes. It's about time! I am honestly more excited for this than any other game release.

YES

So a question:

Will magic users be able to make use of steam technology or will it be too overpowered for them to do so? Or will the tech & magic actually conflict with each other like magic & anti-magic?

In the orc campaign everybody

In the orc campaign everybody can learn how to create & use tinkers yes; but it's an hefty generics investment

Kreygasm

Kreygasm

I want to play

I want to play. Take my money

It will be mine.

Oh yes, it will be mine.

Maybe those aren't giants. Maybe those are humans and this tribe of orcs are SUPER SMALL. It could happen.

I'm throwing money in

I'm throwing money at monitor, but still can't get my pre-order. What am I doing wrong?

AHAH

AHAH :))))
http://te4.org/donate perhaps :)

sounds awesome!

sounds awesome!

Orc in main campaign?

Can you play as the new races in the main campaign and the old races in the new campaign?

On a similar topic

Another related question- it says we'll be able to unlock the ability to use new classes in the old campaign, but will we have to unlock the ability to play old classes in the new campaign?

Yup

Yup

Classes yes, races not

Classes yes, races not

OH YES!

I just squealed for a minute straight.

Sounds amazing Boss! can't

Sounds amazing Boss! can't wait to play!

Release date

Is it possible for you to give us one? If not, that's fine. I thoroughly look forward to checking out the new dlc when it comes out.

Naga?

Naga race?

Not in this expansion

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that Naga won't be playable in this expansion. Pretty sure I remember DarkGod spitballing a whole campaign that would revolve around them down the line (Or possibly the Troll Pirate campaign will have them unlockable in it).

Secret race might be the Yetis in this one? Not sure.

release date

Can't wait, any chance of spoiling a release date?

Sure! But not now ;)

Sure!
But not now ;)
