Chronicle: RuneScape Legends, a strategy card game, will enter open beta for PC on March 23, Jagex Games Studios has announced.
The open beta will benefit from the feedback gathered from 700,000 games played during the 10-week closed beta test.
“If the thoroughly successful closed beta formed Chronicle’s prologue, the arrival of its open beta phase, on 23rd March, really marks the beginning of chapter one,” said Mark Killey, senior producer, Chronicle: RuneScape Legends. “We’re introducing a host of additional content, including new Legends, a Dungeoneering mode, skilling, customisation and fresh environments to quest through.”
The open beta will feature a wide range of new content not found in the closed beta, including:
More Legends: Two new playable Legends will emerge with Venescula the Vampyre entering the fray as Chronicle’s fifth playable character, bringing 30+ new cards and a brand new way to play with her – blood will be spilt! The sixth Legend to be introduced is Morvan, the greatest Slayer Master that players can lead through his own monstrous style of questing.
Dungeoneering: A new mode that tasks players with creating a drafted deck and battling their way through ever increasing PvP challenges. Draft your way to victory in a quest for Coins, Gem Shards and Platinum.
Skilling: Core to the wider RuneScape experience is Skilling, and Chronicle will continue that legacy by introducing its own system. Every action performed in Chronicle will grant experience points in one of the game’s skills which will then lead to some juicy customisation unlocks.
Legend Customisation: Players will finally be able to make their Legend their own with Chronicle’s first collection of skins. These are earned by levelling up a Legend, or unlocking them within the Chronicle Store. With the resulting outfits, players will be able to customise their Legend and face their rival in style.
Leaderboards: It’s not the winning, it’s the taking part that counts. Right? Screw that! Leaderboards will shine a light on those epic players that make up the best of the Bronze, Silver & Gold leagues. Every victory takes you one step closer to the top.
New environments – The Wilderness Crater & Barrows: Not one, but two brand new locations will be bursting through the pages of Chronicle in Open Beta adding some fire and brimstone to your adventures.
