Press release:
May 16, 2023.
The Beijing-based (China) video games developer and publisher Locojoy Games (which is (a subsidiary of Tencent Games), today announced with great thrill and joy that their fantasy MMORPG “Tarisland” is coming to PC and mobile (iOS and Android devices) in 2023.

“Tarisland” features a range of biomes rich in culture, a variety of fully customizable classes and a vast world to explore as players carve their own path through this world, and experience a rich and compelling story.

At the birth of the universe, it is said that there were three primordial gods, Leith, Acheron and Moira. They were mysteriously linked to the beginning and end of the planets, only with different values and points of view – until life was created on a planet called Taris, sparking the Triangular Conflict. Unless the threat posed by Acheron can be stopped, Taris will fall.

It is set against this backdrop that players will embark on their adventure. Wherever they set their sights, they can go into Tarisland’s massive game world. Different biomes, environments and civilizations, each with their own culture, provide a rich playground filled with different races, from the popular to the unknown. A variety of 10 different game modes offer new quests and ways for players to explore all corners of Taris’ diverse and enthralling world.

“Tarisland is a project our team has been passionately working on for the past three years. For some of us, it’s a game we’ve been dreaming of creating and sharing with players for almost a decade,” comments YangMin, producer of Tarisland.

“We’re going back to the core of what an MMO is, paying attention to the smallest details and refining every inch of the gameplay.”

Players can choose from nine different classes, each of which is fully customizable giving them the flexibility to tailor their character to their own preferences and individual playstyles – two types of specialisation and over 40 talents each provide further options.

Further customization is possible using different gear sets, free allocation of attribute points, and a rich selection of costume sets or mounts. Become a Bard performing songs at the right time to support teammates, a Warrior timing sword strikes tactically for extra effect or a Mage unleashing fire that consumes everything – it’s the player’s choice!

Having shaped their character in this way, players can join a team to take part in fierce, action-packed boss battles in one of the many raids. Only through clever use of strategy and the combined skills of the team can each challenge be overcome and rich rewards obtained.

Progression in Tarisland is based on a seasonal system, offering new PvE content and new PvP challenges. Players will be able to catch up between seasons, allowing everyone to start questing together at the beginning of a season.

Tarisland strives to create a fair gaming environment for all players. For example, attribute-enhancing items can only be traded, and in-game resources are exchanged directly between players, creating a real economic system. Cooperation between team members is also key to success in Tarisland.

The same fair approach also applies to PvP, grinding is not necessary to advance and Pay-to-win is not part of the game. The developers aim to create a fair fantasy world that can be enjoyed by all, and to create a sustainable gaming ecosystem.

Adventurers can play anytime and anywhere, as the mobile and PC versions allow full cross-progression and cross-play. The PC version also offers a customizable interface.

Tarisland will open the gates to this new world later this year.
