Game Description
The
critically acclaimed Action/RPG of 2004, Champions of Norrath ™,
gets a sequel! Champions: Return to Arms ™, published by Sony
Online Entertainment and developed by the creators of Baldur's
Gate ™: Dark Alliance ™ and Champions of Norrath , will
build on the progressive features of the first edition with more single-player
adventures, a deeper online and multiplayer experience, two new playable
races, beautifully detailed environments, a whole new storyline, secret
gameplay modes, new monsters, weapons and items and much more.
The Champions of Norrath have destroyed the god Innoruuk, shattering
his body into shards of hate. Innoruuk's followers and allies have
taken it upon themselves to gather these shards in order to resurrect
their fallen prince. Hate has infected all that was good and you can
completely trust no one. Firiona Vie, who has remained pure at heart,
has called upon the champions to take up the crusade against evil to
rid Norrath of this evil threat once and for all. The game is designed
to offer more than 100 hours of gameplay per character, unlimited battles,
deadly missions and the ability to import characters from the original
game. Do you have what it takes to be a Champion?
