Hail Legends!
We hope that you’re enjoying EverQuest Legends, checking out the new Dungeon Crawls, and perfecting your unique builds!
Now that we’re past launch and heading into the Fall season, I wanted to take a moment to share some of our plans for the rest of the year and beyond.
First and foremost, the team is working hard to prepare for the launch of Nektropos Castle and Lake Nerius in October! Along with Nektropos we’ll also be adding a new starting zone and a brand-new playable race as part of the update. From the outside, Nektropos looks like a stately castle surrounded by a bustling trade hub. But many dark secrets await those who find their way inside. And, perhaps … underneath? There will also be seasonal items and events to enjoy as you explore these new areas of Norrath!
After that, there’s no time to rest as we turn our sights on the release of Rulers of Kunark in mid-December! As a reminder, EverQuest Legends is set in a different timeline than the original game, so you should expect to see some major differences with this expansion. Where there were once crumbling remnants of a distant empire you will now find the factions battling for supremacy at the height of their powers. The Rulers of Kunark expansion will also include Reincarnation, which is a new system that will allow you to re-level your characters and unlock new abilities and increased stat caps. We will also be adding increased max levels (55), Aliases, Collections, Artes, Auction Houses, and much more!
Finally, looking forward to 2027, we are currently working on plans for additional Kunark zones, another playable race in Kunark, and two more raid zones for Kunark. We will also release a new high-level outdoor zone, Rujarkian Hills, which is being pushed back to accommodate our plan to add additional content to Nektropos. Later in 2027, we plan to release another major expansion based on Velious. And in the expansion after that we will be revisiting forgotten places and lost secrets to take the game in entirely new, if vaguely familiar, directions.
We’re super excited for all of you to join us in exploring EQ Legends as the world continues to grow and evolve. As always, we welcome your feedback and look forward to seeing you in the game soon!
Cheers,
