New LEGO Universe Progression System and Rewards
August 8, in the year of our Lord 2011 -- LEGO®
Universe fans can now get ready to gear up and reap the benefits
of their in-game adventures with the new level progression
system! With the addition of the progression system, players
will feel more powerful than ever before! In the latest content
update, players can also look forward to new rewards, new
Faction Kits, and new cooperative play opportunities.
As players complete in-game missions to unlock achievements and
points, minifigures will now rise through the ranks up to level
40 in the new leveling system. Leveling up will give players a
sense of achievement for their progress, and reward them as they
unleash their creativity. Enticing new rewards await the most
courageous LEGO minifigures in LEGO Universe, as new equipment,
abilities and backpack slots are unlocked. If players have ever
sought a way to display their heroics, this is the perfect
chance!
“We love to challenge our LEGO Universe builders. We’re
regularly adding new content and new bricks for players to
continuously evolve and tap into their innermost creativity,”
said Jordan Itkowitz, Design Director of LEGO Universe. “With
the addition of the leveling system, we’re looking to inspire
players to explore deeper into the universe, and tackle more
difficult goals than they may have considered before.”
Four new Faction Kits will be at the disposal of dedicated Nexus
Force alliance members in LEGO Universe. Specialized Adventurer,
Shinobi, Inventor and Space Ranger kits are now available to
players who have aligned with one of the four Nexus Force
factions, and players are called upon to power up through three
ranks to explore the new gear, powers and abilities.
An exciting, yet terrifying challenge has also presented itself
to the LEGO Universe community in the new instance in Avant
Gardens, leading up to a massive, eight-legged battle with the
sinister Spider Queen. It’s the latest way to battle chaos with
creativity, and players better bring their imagination along to
score a win!
