Gala Networks Europe have announced details of the next expansion of their AAA MMORPG, Allods Online.

New Horizons, the new update due for launch on 8th August, introduces a set of mercenaries for players to hire as AI assistants for their parties, alongside two additional huge new features to Astral Space. These come in the form of a resource-based mode called Smugglers’ War, where players privateer for their faction, and a major new step in the on-going Path of Greatness quest chain which, for the first time in Allods Online history, allows players to actually build and customise their very own allod in Astral Space.

A trailer showcasing some of the upcoming content from New Horizons can be watched by heading to the full article in T1 Daily (click below).

The mercenaries in New Horizons for Allods Online allow characters over level 8 to hire mercenaries for their party using in-game gold. The mercenaries come in six different classes, each with unique and highly useful special abilities and buffs. Hired mercenaries are set to the same character level as the player and will take up a party slot while obeying the player’s orders for a single instance or allod.

The mercenaries will also take a share of the low-quality loot in each drop, and if dismissed or killed during an instance can be re-hired for free, but will disband from the player’s party once the instance has been completed.
