It’s been quite a while since we reported on Broken Ranks, the turn-based MMO from Polish indie Whitemoon Games, but that’s not necessarily because it’s been idle. In fact, the game is readying to crank out its next major update on Tuesday, July 1st, which is bringing players to The Other Side – and a whole lot of story goodness.
“For some time, one could notice a glimmer of hope peeking through the shadow cast by those cursed Utorians still occupying Thalia. There’s no news from the western border, Thalia keeps bleeding, and unsettling reports have been reaching the Taernian high command… What the hell is going on up there?!”
This new content update will not only flesh out more about the conflict that’s affecting the world of Taern, but will also do so in an all-new way, as players will be put into the middle of an espionage mission from behind Utorian enemy lines. The narrative-forward patch promises “a game of smoke and mirrors” as they navigate Utorian army life, learn about the chain of command, and uncover the experiments of archmages – all while they try to get gathered intel out alive.
The content is available to characters that are at level 70 and have completed a prerequisite quest, along with two daily quests in the update’s new area and the first two pieces of a Utorian-themed armor skin set. Otherwise, it’s looking like the story is the sauce for this next content patch.
