CRUSADERS OF LIGHT ROLLS OUT NEW CONTENT, KICKS OFF ANNIVERSARY COUNTDOWN IN “BATTLE FOR KARANVALE – PART 2” UPDATE

PRNordic June 1, 2018

Cross-platform MMORPG readies for first anniversary celebration with two new dungeon raids, special login rewards, limited edition loot drops, rare items and more

June 1, 2018 – NetEase Games today expanded upon the most recent content update for its mobile and PC cross-platform MMORPG, Crusaders of Light, with the launch of “Battle for Karanvale – Part 2,” featuring two new team raids, new Shadowveil Assassin PVP roles and more. The update also kicks off exciting anniversary countdown events ahead of the game’s one year launch anniversary in July.

“Battle for Karanvale – Part 2” introduces a new team raid and dungeon locale, Dawn Cathedral: Choral Courtyard, where your enemies’ powers become stronger as they become fewer in numbers; as well as a Heroic version of the previously-released but perennially-treacherous Kothas Foundry team raid. Both new raids are available for players who have reached Level 55 with Level 70 talents. Adding more intrigue to Shadowveil Assassination mode, players will now be assigned one of four distinct roles, which feature different powers and skill sets to utilize in their PVP attacks.

Check out the new content in the “Battle for Karanvale – Part 2” video trailer: http://crusadersoflight.link/karanvale2.

In anticipation of the game’s upcoming anniversary, now through July 16, players can score randomly dropped anniversary chests full of exciting loot, gear and limited edition items — like a super rare flaming motorcycle mount. Players can collect the chests by participating in raids and other game activities; chests can be opened starting July 16, or redeemed for a large amount of gold currency at any time. Sweetening the pot, players who log in for seven days during the anniversary countdown period can get login rewards and free daily anniversary chests — including the highest-level Diamond Chest on the seventh day with prizes that could equal hundreds of dollars worth of in-game items.

Available on the App Store, Google Play, Facebook Gameroom and Steam as a free download, Crusaders of Light transports players to a gorgeous 3D fantasy world, featuring more than 300 hours of available gameplay, a series of challenging dungeons, team raids of up to 40 players, and much more. Gamers can take Crusaders of Light on the go on their mobile device, switch to PC via Gameroom or Steam when they want to better enjoy the stunning graphics or tackle more complex content, and continue questing using their same character, whether at home or away.

A press kit including screenshots, a logo, and video footage for Crusaders of Light can be downloaded HERE
