Kunark is back and in action! Prepare for the Sarnak invasion.

The fourth EverQuest II expansion, Rise of Kunark, is in beta now and will be making its way into game in just a short time! While we wait though, the wonderful folks over at SOE have shared with us some great information about the zones that will be included in this expansion. We have an interview with EQ2 Senior Producer Scott Hartsman, zone lore written by Senior Game Designer Tony Garcia, and some amazing screenshots and concept art featuring these brand new zones. This is definitely something that all players will want to check out!

More than anything else, the fact that we’re making KUNARK is what’s pushing us so hard in this direction. Throughout the development team, we really do understand the huge responsibility of doing well by the Kunark name. The reputation that the original has is synonymous with epic adventure. It’s a land of breathtaking scenery that impressed entire generations of EverQuest players, from the moment they set foot there.

The rest of the interview can be found at Ten Ton Hammer's EQ2 site, so get going!
