Nexon Korea recently held a promotional campaign for the latest update for Mabinogi Heroes (Vindictus), titled as “Shadow and Light”. When the official promotional artwork was shown, gamers were stunned to see an uncanny resemblance to the one used by Blizzard Entertainment for Diablo III: Reaper of Souls. The main character, Malthael, can be spotted underneath the Nexon image.
Vindictus is a free-to-play Korean action-MMORPG created by devCAT and published by Nexon. It is a prequel to the also popular MMORPG Malbinogi and is known as Mabinogi Heroes in Asia. This game came out in 2010 and although this type of game tends to age quickly, Vindictus still lives, keeping it from being drowned out by its many competitors. That is why, even after this time...
Recently, Mabinogi Heroes (or Vindictus) saw the arrival of the Episode 4 game update. Two new bosses were introduced, including s stone gargoyle, and the main antagonist this time, a fallen sun god by the name of Lugh. As seen from the trailer below, he can alternate between a sword or javelin weapon, each with different attack patterns. He is able to literally call down the sun as well!
Less than two weeks since the original server for Mabinogi Heroes closed in Taiwan, it has revived almost immediately under Garena Taiwan.
