We heard last week that there are going to be a few new zones in EverQuest II's Game Update 52, and now the EQ2 Players community site has a preview of one of them for us to wrap our eyeballs around. The zone in question is Kurn's Tower: Breaching the Void. It's one of the two single-group instances from GU52 and not the x2 raid instance (although the raid instance is also part of Kurn's Tower). In terms of how difficult Breaching the Void will be, the preview tells us that "adventurers who can tackle Miragul's Phylactery: The Crucible should find that Kurn's Tower: Breaching the Void is a good test of their skill."

So what's actually inside? "There are three levels that will need to be conquered and along the way, there will be puppet strings to be cut as well as some other pitfalls. Be sure to bring your parachutes! This is just the beginning of a monumental story, so expect a twist at the end of this dungeon that will lead you onwards and upwards." It sounds like groups will need to work with the Burynai to progress through the dungeon too. There are a few screenshots of the instance available for viewing at the EQ2 Players preview page.

EverQuest II's Game Update 52: Monument and Might is almost ready to roll out on the Test server, and the official community site has put up a preview of some of the highlights of the patch. There seems to be a focus on the Rise of Kunark areas for this update. Here's what the preview tells us is coming:

  • The player-written books we had a look at last month
  • A new zone called the Emperor's Athenaeum in Charasis
  • A group instance called Kurn's Tower: Breaching the Void
  • A x2 raid zone also based on Kurn's Tower
  • Research Assistants that can upgrade spells and combat arts
  • Over 80 new quests in the overland zones of RoK
We spotted a post from Kiara on the forums saying that these things are planned to be on Test next week if possible, so it won't be long until we know a lot more.
