Shards Online's Catacombs Preview Release Delayed Until March 31st

Shards Online backers were previously expected to get version 0.3.3, the build introducing the Catacombs and Outlands, on March 24th. However, the Catacombs' second level will need more testing in order to be ready for the public. In order to ready the update for players, it will be pushed back one week to March 31st.

When the patch launches, it will introduce the first and second levels of the Catacombs. There will be new quests and a new faction, along with "lots of new bad guys to fight" and a new boss called the Void Guardian. New armor, weapons, shields, crafting recipes, and necromancy spells will also be included. Rogues will be given the Disarm Trap skill. Another new zone called the Outlands will open up new housing regions without any guards.

The picture included above is a first look at the Cerberus' Lair, part of the Catacombs.
