NCsoft Announces Lineage II

Ncsoft on Wednesday announced Lineage II, the prequel to the popular online game. Placing gamers in a new online world, Lineage II features 3D graphics powered by the latest Unreal technology from Epic Games. The graphics are among the most ambitious visuals ever attempted in an online game, NCsoft said in a press release. Set 150 years prior to Lineage, the prequel also features an easy-to-learn interface, an intuitive game structure, a variety of classes and a new focus on group battle. In addition, politics, economics and morals play crucial roles in Lineage II.
The concepts of sieges and pledges have been carried over from Lineage; however, the sieges in Lineage II take place in a full 3D environment. This new form of battle allows players to develop and implement new strategies and tactics. The pledge remains the base of society in the game, and Lineage II expands on the concept by adding a pledge chatting channel, a better safe house system and a dedicated pledge homepage. Further details of Lineage II, including screen shots, character descriptions and a FAQ are available at www.lineage2.com.

Yay, yet another Unreal engine game
