EXPLORE NEW ZONE AND RAID CONTENT WITH EVERQUEST® II’s HALAS REBORN GAME UPDATE

WHAT:

Scheduled to launch on May 25, 2010, Sony Online Entertainment’s hit title EverQuest® II brings an iconic new starting zone to the world of Norrath as part of the Halas Reborn game update with 20 levels of new content. Fans of the genre-defining hit EverQuest® will instantly recognize the original Halas zone, now rebuilt in Norrath on an island in the Frostfang Sea. In addition to the low-level new starting zone, the Halas Reborn update brings two new high-level challenging raids, new housing, prelude events for the upcoming expansion, themed Marketplace items, and more for players of all levels to enjoy. Players will also be introduced to the new Storyteller system which brings the robust lore of EverQuest II to the user through a simpler visual quest journal.

EverQuest II players who login between May 25 and May 28, 2010 can receive an exclusive Frostpaw Kitten available through the in-game Marketplace. (Accounts in good standing, one per character, no cash value)
