The upcoming “EverQuest” reboot video game, “EverQuest Legends,” will launch with the 25-year-old franchise’s fan-favorite Kerran cat race as playable characters.
The announcement was made Saturday at San Diego Comic-Con’s “EverQuest Legends” panel, just days ahead of the game’s July 28 launch.
“In our game, we’re excited to announce for the first time that we will have a playable race called Kerran,” “EverQuest Legends” executive producer David “Sysyphus” Youssefi told Variety in an interview ahead of Comic-Con. “They will be the same type of creatures you see on Kerra Isle in the original game, so not the version that was translocated to the moon. And much like the Frogloks, we’re excited that we’re going to be reimagining this player race in the original art style of the game. We’re taking those original models and updating the skins and updating the animations to make them actually a playable character race, and that will be available at launch.”
Variety has the exclusive first-look images of the Kerran race of playable characters in “EverQuest Legends,” which can be viewed at the bottom of this post.
Developed by first-time studio Game Jawn in collaboration with publisher Daybreak, “EverQuest Legends” is a reimagining of the original 1999 MMO game made by community members who are all self-professed mega fans of the franchise.
