Nexon Europe gearing up for Vindictus closed beta
Better late than never, right? That's what Nexon Europe is hoping its fans are saying about the late arrival of Vindictus. The free-to-play title launched in Korea in January 2010, then it took a bow in North America in October 2010, but the game is just now getting around to its European closed beta phase. The beta begins on September 15th, and testers will need a key to participate. Registration happens on the game's official website, and there's more info on the Vindictus Europe Facebook page as well. Nexon has also released a new trailer to mark the occasion -- view it after the break. [Source: Nexon Europe press release]
Vindictus welcomes back vets with Lucky Leaf update
It doesn't seem all that long ago that Nexon's Vindictus officially launched in North America. The free-to-play hack-and-slash game opened its doors on October 27th, but judging by a new Nexon promotion, four months is time enough for players to leave (and return) to the title. Vindictus' version 1.22 update is titled Lucky Leaf and features a bevy of new cash shop items related to avatar customization (specifically facial tatoos and new hairstyles). The game's official website also notes a couple of bug fixes relating to storage chests and graphics optimization. Finally, the game's Returning Veteran Event will run from March 2nd through March 22nd and feature a 50% XP bonus for recently returned mercenaries (and their partymates), as well as gift packages containing potions, platinum tokens, XP capsules, and a storage chest coupon.
Vindictus invaded by pumpkin-headed vampires and skimpier costumes
Just when you thought it was safe to wander into the raucous carnage of Nexon's Vindictus, their "Fall Fear Festival" Halloween event is here. Indeed, these normally bloody lands have been invaded by vampires who appear to have mistakenly left their fangs at home, forgot that vampires are normally quite allergic to fire, and instead slapped their Headless Horsemen costumes on. (Perhaps they were a little drunk on AB+ at the time this picture was taken? Who knows.) Although, if you take down enough of these confused creatures of the night, you can be rewarded with the 'Mashing Pumpkins" title. Along with the festivities, there's also new goodies for players to pick up in the form of a pretty awesome full-body skeleton costume for Lann, and what can only be termed a "bikini with a skull on it" for Fiona. Oh, wait, that's an "inner armor" costume, which just makes us wonder what the point is if you're smacking armor over it. We'll add that to the "we'll never know" column right next to that age-old question about how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie-roll pop. If you're curious for a peek at what the new Vindictus holiday events look like, as well as the costumes, check out the newest screenshots in our gallery below. %Gallery-97587%
