Neocron Evolution 2.1 Testing Period Extended

Due to the big success of Neocron Evolution 2.1 and Neocron Arcade: The N.M.E. Project, Reakktor has decided to extend the free game time for previous subscribers of the action-oriented cyberpunk MMORPG Neocron 2 by a week until December 22! All owners of a canceled Neocron 2 account may log in to Neocron 2 without reactivating the account to test the many improvements in the free Neocron Evolution 2.1 upgrade that was recently released.


Neocron Arcade - The N.M.E. Project Released!

Neocron Arcade, a new classic arcade shooter based on the world of Neocron, has been released!

You play as Mr Jones in the game, working for the CityAdministration, investigating reports about a strange creature that has appeared in the Wastelands.

The game takes you through places such as the newly implemented dungeon Regants Legacy and is completely free to all. Further information, screenshots, an FAQ, and download links can be found here for those interested.

SSX & GoE Down Razorgore!

Big Congrats to all of the SSX & GoE for yesterday evening, we have now downed Razorgore the Untamed, the first boss in the 40 man raid instance - Blackwing Lair.

(Once again, for all non WoW players - Blackwing Lair is the next level up from the Molten Core, hardness wise. Molten Core being the other 40man instance that we have already fully cleared.)

Awesome job!
