In a few weeks it will be time: The action MMO TERA, praised for its combat system, will receive a significant content boost with the monster expansion “Fate of Arun” in December. To shorten the wait and simultaneously raise the excitement, publisher Gameforge has released a trailer that briefly introduces the story of the upcoming expansion.
“Fate of Arun” is set to be the largest content update in TERA’s history. After more than 2 years on the European market, this is a good sign that MMORPGs can still perform very well in the long term today. TERA, which was even released in South Korea in 2011, was among the top-grossing MMOs worldwide according to SuperData last year.
Regarding the content: Players will have a completely new continent, northern Arun, to explore, which includes many new instances, quests, and monsters. The hard mode in the “Depths of Bathysmal” designed for groups of 5 players is expected to be the biggest challenge. The new dungeons can be seen in the following overview:
| Instance | From Level | Number of Players | Boss Monster |
| Ravenous Abyss | 65 | 3 | Nimistrix |
| Depths of Bathysmal | 65 | 5 | Fulminar |
| Sabex Armory | 61 | 5 | Yateveo |
| Butcher’s Catacombs | 64 | 5 | Demokraxus |
But players will also feel progress in their own characters as the skill repertoire of each class will increase by 3 special abilities. Additionally, players in the west can look forward to a new maximum level for the first time – it will rise from 60 to 65. In America, at EnMasse, the update will be released on December 16. It can be expected that Fate of Arun will open its doors in Europe between December 16 and 23.
Enough about the features; here is the mentioned story trailer:
