Frogster Interactive Pictures has announced the release of a new free MMOG coming this year: StoneAge 2. Players will travel back in time to a land full of dinosaurs and adventure! They will play Neanderthals who sleep on the ground, have pets, fight dinosaurs, and even have to deal with the weather!
Read all the details below:
In StoneAge 2 Anime and Manga fans will discover a fanciful online
world for their home computers. Besides the interaction between
human players, the relationship between the characters and their pets,
constitutes an essential game-play element. The skills of these cute
companions and their capability to learn are decisive factors in determining the outcome of
the turn-based fights.
Players will be able to download StoneAge 2 completely free of charge
and play permanently with no monthly fees. The open beta of the
localized German version will most likely start in late summer 2008.
Other European language versions are in development. Interested
players can find information and screenshots on the brand new German
teaser site www.stoneage2.de. Historians and Manga fans can pre-register right away for the
upcoming beta and will then receive all news about StoneAge 2.
In the land before time - StoneAge 2
Primeval spirits, mythical beings and dinosaurs once roamed the lovingly animated world of
StoneAge 2. But since the mysterious disappearance of the mighty dinosaurs, aggressive
and evil creatures have taken over the world. Hunting, gathering and defending their soil
now dominate the everyday life of the Manga characters. Players fan out from their
individual housing to look for food and resources. Fortunately for them, the pets stand by
their sides with their unique fighting and healing talents. Players will attentively take care of
their virtual companions. With good upbringing and training some might even be used as
mounts. Hobby Neanderthals can choose from almost 200 pets and even create their own
unique creature as a loyal escort.
Before StoneAge 2, the Japanese developing studio DigiPark had already successfully operated its predecessor in China, Korea and Japan with almost 10 millions of players. You can find further information and pictures on www.stoneage2.de.
