Beginning today, five unique Founder’s Packs are available for purchase at http://founder.dragomonhunter.com. In addition, the game will launch the Closed Beta program on October 15. To celebrate today’s announcements, Aeria has released a brand new video depicting a “day in the life” of a Dragomon Hunter.

  • Starter Pack: A great set of essentials for any serious Hunter, including guaranteed access to the Closed Beta. ($19.99)
  • Into The Wild Collection: Adventurous Hunters can tame their way into Dragomon history with the unique Fire Ringoon and other kawaii Dragomon. ($49.99)
  • Royal Apparel Set: Some players command great skill as Dragomon Hunters, but they have to look the part of an elite adventurer too! This set includes charming Victorian-inspired garb to elevate players’ elegance. ($49.99)
  • Dynamic Duo Pack: Hunters are only as strong as their companions, and with the Fae companion Pandora, Founding players become a real force of nature to be reckoned with. ($49.99)
  • The Ultimate Hunter’s Pack: Elite Hunters can gear up and get ready for the ultimate start to their adventures. ($299.99)

 

“The kick-off of the Dragomon Hunter Founder’s Pack program is a great way for players to get excited to experience the monster-hunting action when the Closed Beta launches next month. We can’t wait to welcome our enthusiastic fans into the game and give them the chance to take down all of the unique and varied Dragomon creatures.” -Tom Nichols, Vice President of PC Games at Aeria Games

 

Camelot Unchained Begins Backer Voting on Class Reveals

Today’s CityState Games Livestream overview focused on the upcoming 10 week reveal of classes and trio archetypes for Camelot Unchained. Backers will be able to vote in email surveys to push for follow-up stream reveals of the silhouettes teased on this page.

Camelot Unchained Class Silhouttes

While dedicated followers of Camelot Unchained may recognize a few of these (our predictions below!), there are certainly far more classes pictured than we anticipated. It seems after working through the paths systems for customizing individual classes, a few stood out to the point that the developers decided to dedicate entirely new classes to the concepts. As such we’re getting more classes than anticipated without even needing to hit a stretch goal!

As always, Mark Jacobs assured that these additional classes would not impact the progression of development towards launch. Viewers present voted on random numbers to also reveal a class name: TDD- Morrigans. Now the waiting game begins as Camelot Unchained will soon put faces to the characters that will put the RPG in their sandbox realm PvP MMORPG.

 

DizzyPW Trio Archetype Predictions:

A. Shield Juggernauts
B. Healers
C. Scouts
D. Mages
E. Great Axe Berserkers
F. Archers
G. Blood Mages? This one is throwing me off!
H. Spirit Summoners
I. Veil Stalkers/Walkers
J. Marauders
