Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Monday, December 28, 2009 -- (Business Wire India) -- True Games, an international publisher of multi-player online games and a part of the UTV group, recently announced the official launch of Warrior Epic: Battlegrounds, the game's first expansion. Keeping up with the increasing demand for the game, the company has developed this extension with a multitude of innovative and exciting content, especially for the gaming aficionados. Join the Warrior Epic Community and play the game on www.warriorepic.com

With an aim to provide the much-needed game-play value, the Warrior Epic: Battlegrounds offers:

-- FRESH PVP GAMEPLAY: Warrior Epic now offers four all-new objective-based PVP enabled maps for players to battle in - Welkin Warrens (a mountainous underground), Ruins of Aberas (a fierce jungle), Faustus Estate (the mysterious mansion) and the newest addition: Trogken Swamps.

-- A NEW HUB CITY: Warrior Epic now offers a true central HUB for players to meet and form groups and guilds, while also showing off their dance skills and cool gear earned from quests.

-- All NEW SWAMP REGION: The grand region known as the Trogken Swamps is an all-new environment, and like the other regions in the game will now offer full PVP gameplay. With over 50 new quests, monsters and items you can acquire, players can spend a great deal of time adventuring through the deadly marshes.

-- DOZENS OF NEW PVP ITEMS: During PVP matches, players can earn currency for purchasing all new items and upgrades to reinforce their base, summon boss monsters and spirits against the opposing team, and many more!

Warrior Epic is an online, action role-playing game set in an original fantasy universe. In the game, players will assume command of a Warrior Hall from which they manage their characters' adventures. They can recruit from a wide array of Warrior Classes, each with its own style of play. The Classes and the Hall itself can be upgraded visually as well as functionally. Players adventure together in multiplayer campaigns, adventure mode, solo quests and PVP.

One of the most unique aspects of Warrior Epic is that death does not mean the end of a warrior. Instead, it opens totally new and strategic options for players. The game's unique Warrior Spirits System enables fallen warriors to not only be revived at any time at their hall, but also to be transformed into Spirits that can be bound to weapons to increase and open weapon abilities and skills, or they can be called out to inflict massive damage depending on player needs.
