Asheron’s Call 2 Open Letter

Turbine’s official Asheron’s Call 2 website has been updated with an open letter to the community written by executive vice president Jason Bell. In it, Jason talks about what’s in store for the game and its recently announced expansion, Legions. Check it out:

Since taking over the franchise, the game has been largely absent from retail. While we’ve been aggressive in selling online and running free trials, we can and will do more. We intend to significantly grow the number of users in this game over the next six months.

To that end we will continue and expand our current trial program, launch additional online marketing campaigns, forge new distribution partnerships, and do what it takes to get the game in front of as many players as possible.

We are also very pleased to announce the first ever expansion for Asheron’s Call 2. Asheron’s Call 2: Legions will launch in the Spring of 2005. The game will be supported by a full national retail rollout and a complete launch marketing program (print, channel, online). New boxes with significant new content included will be sitting on shelves next year!

Asheron’s Call 2: Legions will be a significant upgrade, including a massive new continent, a new playable race, new classes and skills, new monsters, and of course all new quests and content for players across a wide range of levels.
