Turbine, Inc. announced
today plans for a range of expanded player features and content,

including more solo-friendly game play, to be included in the second
content module for DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE™: Stormreach™
(DDO), the hit game that has quickly become one of the fastest-growing
MMOGs (massively multiplayer online games) in North America. DDO is
based on the world-renowned DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® brand franchise
from Wizards of the Coast, Inc., a subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE:
HAS).

Free to all current DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE™ subscribers, the Twilight
Forge
module is slated for release in July and will include the new
drow race, new content for players of all levels, an improved new
player experience, and enhanced replayability. Following on the heels
of the successful retail launch with over 300,000 units sold worldwide,
the Twilight Forge module is the second in a series of planned
updates that will provide new content and features for DDO. DUNGEONS
& DRAGONS is under license from the Hasbro Properties Group, the
intellectual property development arm of Hasbro.

"The Twilight Forge module will offer new players an
improved single player experience, and existing players will enjoy
creating new drow characters and exploring lots of new dungeons," said
Jeffrey Anderson, president and CEO of Turbine, Inc. "We are committed
to delivering future DDO modules that include features that continue to
expand the game, such as additional character levels and
player-versus-player (PvP) battles."

Following on the April launch of the Dragon's Vault module, the Twilight
Forge
module offers new content for players of all levels ranging
from new soloable dungeons in the harbor to additional advanced-level
quests that culminate in a new raid encounter with the legendary
Warforged Titan. The player experience has been vastly improved by
including new features that make grouping easier, an improved user
interface, and enhancements to the dungeons in the harbor that enable
more solo-play and more diverse monster encounters.

In addition to the ability to create characters based on the drow,
also known as the dark elf, players can expect to encounter eight new
monsters from the D&D® universe, including the Mindflayer, Ogre
Magi, Warforged Titan, Mummy and Lich. Finally, the Twilight Forge
module includes a new award system that gives players bonuses for
completing dungeons on all difficulty levels.

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE: Stormreach recreates the essence of
the classic pen-and-paper roleplaying experience - with an emphasis on
non-grinding, instanced quests that provide a unique, immersive
experience for each party. Authentic features in the game include
customizable characters; dungeons filled with devious traps; monsters
and stories from the Eberron® campaign setting; an on-screen d20
(20-sided die) and a dungeon master. The unique online world of
Stormreach is a bustling city with thousands of players from around the
world. It represents a new paradigm for the MMO genre with unique
features including party-based quests, integrated voice chat, real-time
action combat, and award winning graphics. DDO is based on the
world-renowned DUNGEONS & DRAGONS brand franchise from Wizards of
the Coast, Inc., a subsidiary of Hasbro.

Published by Atari, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATAR) in February, DUNGEONS &
DRAGONS ONLINE has been enthusiastically received by many gaming
critics, including The New York Times, PC Gamer, Game
Informer
and many more. DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE: Stormreach
is currently available in retail stores for $49.99. Additional
