DOFUS 2.0 will go live on December 2nd, 2009 according to a press release issued today by Ankama Games. DOFUS 2.0 is being touted as a massive overhaul of the game, reworking the games graphic engine, as well as server and client code.
Ankama Games also plans a boxed retail version of the game to be available in stores worldwide sometime in 2010.
Along with today's announcement, we've also received a bevy of new screenshots to share with you, which you can find in our DOFUS gallery.

Can't wait to see how 2.0 will be. I had a hard time staying hooked to dofus and i hope 2.0 will change that. This mmo has everything to succeed (pve, pvp, economy, crafting, housing, etc.).
Really cool MMORPG- I just hope they release a new server along with it ^^ (International)
Having played the game for over two years, this is what is needed to keep up with other MMOs coming on to the market.
Whilst many deride it for the fact that it doesn't use fancy 3D graphics, the fact that it is completely written in Flash means that it runs on any computer, no matter what OS, and said computer doesn't need to be top-of-the-range. This brings it an audience far wider that the dedicated gamers with uber-rigs.
And to respond to Xyger, no there won't be an additional server. As far as I can see there is no need for additional. I play on the Shika server (UK) and population there has been dropping recently.Hopefully this will bring them back. The Solar server (US) is gaining population all over the place and as for the European servers, well they're always packed.
2.0 will bring a huge change to the game is terms of visuals, but it won't affect the game play. Now the 1.29 update in a week or so most certainly will. But thats a different story.
