Avalon Heroes
Two new heroes named
Munich, Germany, April 9, 2010
It was no easy feat, but the WeMade FOX team finally selected the two most suitable entries among more than 800 suggestions how to "Name the Hero". As early as April 21, all players of the online RTS RPG Avalon Heroes will be able to fight epic battles with the two brand-new heroes Amkatar and Phelizia – two amazing characters with lots of very different skills.
New heroes are getting ready to join the battle for honor and glory: as of Wednesday, April 21, the massive warrior Amkatar will be available to all players inthe world of Avalon Heroes. As a guardian of the dark, he mainly utters curses and is able to summon a horrible mummy in combat. But Phelizia is also a formidable, lightning-fast fighter. She always has her bamboo flute ready for targeted attacks,and can rely on fearsome dragon assaults. Both Amkatar and Phelizia are also well equipped for long-range attacks.
Moreover, the Electronic Sports League (ESL) is still
looking for contestants in the first season of the ESL Major Series (EMS). Avalon Heroes players who would like to take part in the fourth and last EMS qualification round can
still register until next Tuesday at www.esl.eu/eu/ems/season6/avalonheroes/news/117477.
Besides battle and adventure modes, Avalon Heroes also features a scenario mode with a huge single player campaign and an exciting storyline. No matter which faction they join, Oriens or Aeonia – Avalon Heroes appeals to both newbies and veterans of the genre. The title is also closely associated with e-sports in the Electronic Sports League (ESL), and new, fantastic cup tournaments for this online RTS RPG will be held in the future as well.
