In the Free2Play fantasy MMO Dragon’s Prophet, players will soon be able to breed their own dragons. Sony Online Entertainment introduced the new “Dragon Hatch” system at SOE Live in Las Vegas.
At SOE Live in Las Vegas, all games in SOE’s portfolio have their 15 minutes of fame – or rather their 40-400 minutes. Dragon’s Prophet was also part of it – Sony Online Entertainment is the game’s publisher in North America. Last night our time, it was announced that Dragon’s Prophet would be included in its All-Access program, allowing US players to receive bonuses for other SOE titles like Everquest II, DCUO, or Planetside 2 – unfortunately, we in Germany will miss out on this.
The egg-hatching system is a bit reminiscent of Pokémon
What we benefit from is the new egg-hatching system. This will allow players to hatch dragon eggs themselves. The quality of the dragon that hatches from the egg depends on the quality of care. Soon, more details about the system will be revealed. At SOE, they also boasted about the revamped first hours of gameplay, where they have polished the quests with new mechanics and better cutscenes. Additionally, now more tutorials will introduce the diverse gameplay. This is expected to make the start easier for newcomers. Furthermore, the different classes are now overall more clearly defined and thus divided into roles. We last reported on the major update that has also been applied in Europe: Dragon’s Prophet changes core mechanics and takes a fresh start.
According to a SOE producer, they are also considering fulfilling a fan request: They had demanded to bring dragons from the recently discontinued Vanguard into the game.
