WAKFU and DOFUS both have a new playable class! The Eliotropes, which are linked to Yugo (the hero of the anime TV series WAKFU), will bring a fresh new transmedia background story linking both universes and innovative gameplay based on teleportation.

 

DOFUS Update 2.25, Legends of the Fall, has gone live! The update includes a new quest, new dungeon, legendary treasures and additional features to some existing dungeons.

Let's see if I can get the numbers right here: 5 new areas, 4 new dungeons, 30 new and exclusive monsters, 40 puzzling quests and 130 new items, of which, more than 50 can be equipped! I'm assuming the other 70 or so items that can't be equipped should all be edible, but that's just me.

Either way, all of this and more are waiting for players in DOFUS's latest content update, Frigost: Episode 2 - Attack of the Foux Fighters! These sinister Snowfoux are led by the powerful Fuji Snowfoux, and him and his vulpines have invaded the Snowbound Village. Players will be charged with hunting down these Snowfoux to free the village and, from there, to continue on their adventure in Episode 2!

In the gaming world, there are a few MMORPGs that have grown to become synonymous with the countries in which they were developed. World of Warcraft, for example, has become the poster child of North American MMO gamers because Blizzard developed WoW in North America first (and some have jokingly noted that WoW suits the North American lifestyle with its low work, high reward system). Other MMOs, like NCsoft's Aion, which was developed and released in Korea first and Square Enix's Final Fantasy XI, developed in Japan, are both considered to be iconic representations of their home countries as well. Even Iceland, Greece, Norway and Russia have their "home town" MMOs in the form of EVE Online, Darkfall, Age of Conan and Allods Online.

Of all of the countries that can boast of having marquee MMORPGs, however, perhaps one of the least known and, surprisingly, one of the most popular MMORPGs of all time has to be France's Dofus, developed by Ankama Games. Boasting an amazing 10 million+ players worldwide, Dofus has had a rather unique history as an MMORPG. In an age when players are demanding better graphics and sharp controls, Dofus is a flash-based MMORPG that relies on turn-based combat, click-to-move mobility, sprite graphics and a lot of heart to compete in this crowded industry. Just recently, Dofus went through a major graphical overhaul as well (to Dofus 2.0), allowing them to really show off their artistic abilities, so we decided that now would be a perfect time to check out the game and put the spotlight on one of the largest, most underrated MMOs in North America.

DOFUS 2.0 has officially launched today, which means players are welcome to head over to the new Zatoïshwan server and enjoy double experience and drops for the next two weeks. You can download the client for the free-to-play MMO on the game's site.

While today marks the start of a new chapter for DOFUS, Ankama has also decided to leave version 1.29 playable and open to everyone since the team feels 2.0 isn't completely ready for to take on a full migration of the community. This means you can currently play both 1.29 and 2.0 with the same account. You can read the full post by Ankama co-founder Emmanual Darras after the jump.
