After several rounds of playtests, and more than 27 years, Tibia now has its first new class ever, the Monk.
The new vocation is a martial arts-based fighter who also taps into mystical abilities. In deciding to add a new class for the first time since the game launched in late 1997, CipSoft wanted to be sure that any new class would fit in seamlessly into the world and with the other four classes.
There's a brand new trailer to mark the debut of the new class that gives an overview of what to expect as well. To create a class that fits seamlessly within the framework and fantasy world and history of this mmorpg, also required significant work on the code, creating items and abilities and grounding it all within the world itself.
The team held three separate playtests and reported that the new class got significant interest, And they got feedback that led to a number of changes to refine the class before its official launch. Everyone gets a boost to the maximum number of characters on their account with its release, and Tibia also debuts on the Epic Games Store as of today as well.
