We haven’t heard much about the MMORPG Allods Online for a long time. However, the online role-playing game is set to receive a major update soon. This update will introduce three new classes, expanding the game into something akin to Allods 2.0.
What is Allods Online? The MMORPG immerses you in a world made up of floating islands in the Astral space. The planet Sarnaut has been destroyed, and the survivors travel from island to island in airships that traverse the Astral space. You embark on adventures with your friends in this world, completing quests and enhancing your hero.
The MMORPG launched in 2010, so it has been around for almost 9 years.
What’s the status of Allods Online? Looking at the numbers on Steamcharts, one might think Allods Online is on the brink of closure. At its peak, there are 46 players online simultaneously. However, the online game is played not only via Steam, but mainly through its own launcher. Nevertheless, fans report on platforms like Reddit that the servers feel quite empty. Still, there is a small fanbase.
Allods Online 2.0 is Coming
What have the developers announced? With the major update 10.0 “Destination Horizon,” significant changes are set to be introduced to the game. Allegedly, the update is so extensive that it almost constitutes a full-fledged expansion.
- Three new classes will be introduced: Crusader, Tracker, and Witcher
- New activities under the title “Phantom Ground” are planned.
- There will be some new events for players.
- The graphics, especially for character models, will be revised.
- A new action-packed combat system without tab-targeting will be introduced.
- The gameplay will undergo a revamp, as will the UI.
- New gear for PvP and PvE will be added.
- The story will jump into the future.
- There will be new areas and dungeons.
- There are rumors of a battle royale mode.
What is special about this update? With “Destination Horizon,” a sort of Allods Online 2.0 is being created. However, fans will only see the changes if they travel to the “future world.” There, only the three new classes will be available. This means that character progression will essentially be reset. Those who wish can continue to play the old version.
Changes are Needed, Fans Remain Skeptical
Why are the changes being made? Discussions about the announcement of the update are taking place in Allods Online’s official forum. In a Russian-language video, the MMORPG’s producer reportedly stated that Allods Online essentially needs to become a new game because players are leaving the current version due to its age.
How are fans reacting? There is a bit of skepticism in the community. While many are glad that something new is finally happening with Allods Online, some feel that the changes may be a bit too drastic. There are fears that Allods could lose its identity.
When will the update arrive? Currently, there is no known date for when
“Destination Horizon” will be released for the MMORPG Allods Online.
