Pets make their way into the video game 'Tales of the Damned' expansion for Dragonica this October

Dragonica is the free arcade-style 3D side-scrolling MMORPG developed by Barunson Interactive and published by Gala Networks Europe. This October will see the introduction of the “Tales of the Damned” expansion for European versions of Dragonica, and we are proud to publish information on the eagerly anticipated pets system.

Players with characters over level 20 can visit the pet merchant in Dragonica where they will be able to take a series of quests to earn their own pet. On completing these quests, players receive a pet egg containing a random pet, which can later be bound to the character and help them in the world of Dragonica. In total, three pets will be available to players: Husky the dog, Felix the cat and Griffon the bird.

Pets will be introduced in three phases to the world of Dragonica with “Tales of the Damned” being the first step. With this update, pets can be considered fashionable companions who add uniqueness to each player’s avatar as well as various bonuses to characteristics. Upcoming expansions will bring the ability to include passive skills to the pets, make them fight against monsters or use them as mounts.

Pets are one of many new features being introduced by the “Tales of the Damned” expansion to European versions of Dragonica. In addition to this new feature, controller support, the new Emporia Tournament system for Guilds, an increase in the level cap to 65, many brand new field maps, mission maps, dungeons, bosses and a revised mission scoring system will be introduced. As with all gPotato.eu games, this and future updates are all available completely free of charge, and will be delivered by a patch during October.

Dragonica is available as a free-to-play game, meaning no subscriptions, ever!
