Gravity Interactive announces they are set to launch
Requiem: Bloodymare
on June 19, but that premium accounts in the M-rated free-to-play MMORPG will be
able to access the game three days before that:
MARINA DEL REY, Calif. –
June 6, 2008 – Requiem: Bloodymare will bring a new era of mature horror to the
MMO space with its commercial launch. Players that pre-order subscriptions will
be able to begin playing on June 16, three days before gamers using the
free-to-play option.
This M-rated horror title brings a new option to mature MMO players looking for
an alternative to the standard game fare. In addition to the controversial
content, Requiem: Bloodymare’s gameplay challenges conventional MMO approaches.
Character development is not restricted to just choosing a class and skills.
Players will use the DNA system to experiment with their own genetic code.
Ghoulish experiments with DNA will allow characters to obtain traits that nature
never intended.
Players will also not be tied down to just the skills open to their class. Using
the Beast Possession system they will be able to transform into some of the most
violent and grotesque monsters they encounter. Regardless of initial class,
players are free to choose between monsters that rip prey to shreds with their
bare claws to ones that call up dark magical forces that rot the flesh off their
enemies’ bones.
The world is a deadly place in Requiem. When day turns to night the world decays
in a Nightmare-ish landscape and terrifying monsters come to life. Imbued with
unholy power, they are many times more powerful than the daylight denizens.
“We’ve put together a title that is going to turn the MMO world on its ear.
Requiem: Bloodymare is, quite simply, one of the best free-to-play MMOs out
there,” said Jay H. Choi, vice president, Gravity Interactive.
The game will be free-to-play with two levels of subscriptions. Players who
purchase a Basic or Premium package for Requiem: Bloodymare will receive an
exclusive 3-day early access pass into the game and a special experience bonus
for the early period. Players must purchase the monthly package from June 5 to
June 12 to be eligible.
The basic and premium packages cost $7.99/month and $14.99/month, respectively.
The packages also include faster character development, increased item drops,
bonus points from Item Mall purchases as well as enhanced chat functionality.
