Revision as of 15:50, 13 August 2007 by Petre (Talk | contribs) (typo)

Stygian Abyss will be UO's ninth expansion. It will be launched a few months after Kingdom Reborn, which means late summer of 2007. It features a new playable race of Gargoyles and a new dungeon named Stygian Abyss. The dungeon will be the largest in UO to date, with new monsters, tricks, and treasures. The expansion will also come with new skills, pets, craftables, items, and housing designs. More will be revealed in the coming months.

Details

  • The Kingdom Reborn client will be required to access the new areas
  • The new dungeon Stygian Abyss will be the largest and most complex UO has ever seen
  • The only way to have a Gargoyle character is to make a new one, at this time a quest to change race to gargoyle is not planned
