The Project Genom site has been updated with the welcome news that the massive update that has been more than a year in the making will finally be hitting live servers on May 7th. For those who want to try things out ahead of time, the improved and expanded game content is now accessible through a newly deployed Test Branch. The latest developer update provides instructions how to access the Test Branch as well as details what the team is most actively involved with over the past week.
Over the past year and a half, the project has changed dramatically. There is no more a single sequence of old code left in, the world changed completely, spreading over 100 square kilometers filled with a completely new nature and zones. Most of quests were rewritted and improved, and added dozens of new quests. All opponents were completely redesigned with news models, animations, conducts and balance. New mobs were added. The character and his controles have completely changed, customization has been added, the interface reworked and many more changed have occured. This is completely a new game that took all the best from the previous version, without change his fundamentals, didn’t forget premises and will turn into a full-fledged MMORPG, which we are all waiting!
You can read the full (and very exciting!) update on the Project Genom forum.
Keep your eyes peeled as we'll be diving into the test server in the near future to give you some updated impressions of the game.
