RuneScape-Inspired Idle Adventure ‘Melvor Idle’ Taps Into The Abyss with Major New Expansion, Releasing June 13th
Embark on a treacherous descent Into the Abyss in the latest expansion for the beloved idle adventure
Tuesday, 16th May 2024, Cambridge, UK. Jagex is thrilled to announce that ‘Melvor Idle: Into the Abyss’, a brand new DLC expansion for the beloved RuneScape-inspired idle adventure, will be available June 13th on PC, iOS, and Android.
Embark on a treacherous descent into the Abyssal Realm in this all-new chapter, and test your might in brand new Combat Challenges to defeat a powerful antagonist, Xon, the Abyssal King.
Created with end-game players in mind, Into the Abyss continues the story of Melvor Idle following the defeat of Bane, which has resulted in unforeseen consequences and signalled the start of a dire new threat. Emerging from the chaos, Xon has seized the opportunity to bridge his kingdom, the Abyssal Realm, and conquer the overworld using his vast and fearsome armies. Players find themselves on the frontline of this new conflict, tasked with the monumental challenge of stopping the seemingly all-powerful Xon before his dark ambitions come to pass.
Take up arms in two new Combat Challenges, designed to deepen the world of Melvor Idle. Venture into The Abyss, an enormous labyrinthine dungeon that is home to increasingly challenging encounters against Xon’s forces. Then, take on Strongholds, a brand new type of Combat Challenge that sees players battling through waves of monsters to reclaim possession of areas overrun by the enemy.
Unlock powerful abilities with the all-new Skill Trees, a mechanic that introduces new gameplay and branching bonuses in each player’s preferred playstyle. Discover the ‘Abyssal Levels’, a powerful new levelling system that unlocks brand new content within each skill for the player to explore and create. Finally, take advantage of two Abyssal Skills – Harvesting and Corruption – to aid you on your quest through the Abyssal Realm.
Melvor Idle is a feature-rich, idle/incremental game that combines a distinctly familiar feel with a fresh gameplay experience, taking the core of what makes an adventure game so addictive and stripping it down to its purest form. Whether you’re a RuneScape newbie or hardened veteran, tap into battle to conquer brutal dungeons and topple boisterous bosses. Maxing 20+ skills has never been more zen.
Melvor Idle is available now on Steam, iOS and Android. For more information, visit jagex.com.
