NCsoft has announced the release date for Lineage II: Freya, a new content scheduled to release on August 24th, 2010. The new update will introduce 32 new weapons to the game along with more quests and a new raid against Freya the Ice Queen. The update recently went live on the Play Test Server (PTS), so players wanting to check out the new content early can join PTS and help test out the new content before its August release.

Beginning today Lineage II fans interested in pitting themselves against Freya prior to the patch’s release can do so through the game’s Play Test Servers (PTS). In addition to giving players a taste for what’s to come, these temporary servers will feature exciting in-game events where players can test out the latest content alongside members of the Lineage II team.
