Avalon Heroes
Open beta test concluded - and successfully, too.
- to be published immediately -
Munich, Germany, February 3, 2010
Online games publisher burda:ic today officially ended the Open Beta phase of the new online RTS RPG Avalon Heroes. Over the past three weeks, several thousand players faced a variety of DotA-inspired challenges and competed in the first two cups of the Electronic Sports League (ESL).
Nothing now stands in the way of the genre hit's official release. As soon as February 9, all players get to battle against horrifying monsters, establish powerful guilds, and set out to become heroes. The release of Avalon Heroes will include a number of new features: six more heroes, a new battle mode map, the fourth chapter of the scenario mode, and two additional maps for the adventure mode will be made available in just a few days' time, completely free of charge. Real-time strategists and role-players prepare - the battle for honor and glory awaits!
