Obsidian Entertainment reveals new Alakur Island area in Skyforge

Skyforge has expanded its in game size with the mysterious Alakur Island, through an interactive Panorama, which you can view here.

Alakur Island was once home to one of the most beautiful temples to the goddess Ianna. Citizens would travel from all across the world to visit the temple and leave offerings to her mighty and beautiful statue. The statue stands by the sea to this day, but now the temple lies in ruins thanks to the violent creatures that have seized the surrounding land and flooded the island.

These Phytonides are mysterious creatures left over from the early invasions of Aelion. From what scientists have been able to determine, the Phytonides are capable of controlling a wide range of large and small plants and wherever they settle, the area soon becomes overrun by vegetation. Walls and columns of the abandoned buildings are quickly claimed by the overgrowth of roots & vines, and blossoms can be found sprouting up everywhere. But players must be careful not to succumb to the charms of this blooming serenity. Bright colors, seductive Dryads, and huge mushrooms mask the poisonous spikes, sharp teeth and danger hidden beneath the foliage.

As an immortal, you’ll be tasked with assembling a group of fearless warriors in order to purge the ancient temple of the bloodthirsty Phytonides!
