Have you been waiting patiently (or perhaps even impatiently) for more new things to do inEverQuest Legends? It doesn’t look as though you’re going to have to wait too long, as game producer Dave “Sysyphus” Youssefi has offered a general roadmap of updates headed for the revivified MMORPG that looks ahead into the remainder of this year and even a little bit into next year.
The new stuff starts landing sometime in October with the launch of Nektropos Castle, Lake Nerius, and even a new race and new starting zone. The post also promises some seasonal goodies and events on deck, while also hinting at Nektropos’ dark secrets within and underneath.
Following that, players can look forward to the Rulers of Kunark expansion at sometime in mid-December, though the studio does bring up once more that EQL takes place in an alternate timeline of Norrath, so things won’t be precisely the same as before, including the hint of factions battling for supremacy where there were once crumbling ruins. The expansion also promises to bring a new level cap of 55, auction houses, collections, and the Reincarnations system that will let players re-level characters and unlock new abilities and increased stat caps.
The look ahead then offers an overview of update plans for 2027, although release timings aren’t provided. Regardless, players can expect additional raid zones and areas in Kunark, a new race in Kunark, the high-level outdoor area of Rujarkian Hills, a major expansion “based on Velious,” and another expansion that takes the MMORPG to “forgotten places and lost secrets to take the game in entirely new, if vaguely familiar, directions.”
