Darkfall Relaunch Details

Aventurine today for the first time have given an ETA for when the development of the Darkfall Online re-launch is expected to be complete.  Via the Darkfall blog, producer Tasos Flambouras stated that development should be completed sometime in August and once it is an official launch date will be announced.  Keep in mind that this is just an estimate and it could be pushed back.  However no mention was made if the re-launch will include a character reset, which is a major concern for players.  Being a game that is now two years old to force a character reset would be catastrophic for many Darkfall players.

Tasos also touched upon a few other things such as the political map, which was supposed to be released back in February.  The political map, which has since been enhanced with many more features, is now a complete information interface and contains everything inside the Darkfall world.  The release of this new tool will also be held back until the re-launch of Darkfall.

As for the delayed Siege System Expansion, it was announced that it should be available within a month.  You can view more details about the Siege system and the changes in the Activity Report via the Darkfall blog.

Along with the information above, Aventurine also released a new video showing off Darkfall’s updated graphics.  Definitely a huge improvement from the current version.
