NextGenBooks.com has announced the release of their new Role Playing Game (RPG), Warrior Quest. Warrior Quest is a little different than other RPGs because this RPG runs in your browser as well as browsers for the Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Portable (PSP).

Warrior Quest is a classic RPG similar to Dragon Quest. Players have to complete different quests to gain new skills and collect Battle Cards. NextGenBooks plans to add new content to Warrior Quest throughout the year to give players a reason to keep coming back to play.

Role Playing Games are usually in depth and can be very addictive. It is interesting that NextGenBooks has decided to make a browser based RPG. Running Warrior Quest in a browser widens the audience that is able to play. There is no need for separate executables, but it may run slower than native code. I guess we will have to wait and see how Warrior Quest is liked.

Press Release Follows:

NextGenBooks.com today announces that its brand new online RPG, Warrior Quest, has gone live on its official website. The game, a traditional RPG adventure in a similar vein to classic games Dragon Quest and Phantasy Star, is a free browser based adventure that is set to grow and evolve continuously with new features scheduled to be added every month until the end of this year. The game has been optimized to run not just on home PCs and Macs but also Wii and PS3 with a PSP edition scheduled for launch before the end of March.

Warrior Quest is a magical adventure that places gamers in the role of a young, aspiring Battle Master. Battle through numerous quests in order to gain new skills, collect and trade Battle Cards, and unlock new areas of the map. New features, areas, and Battle Cards will be added to the game throughout the year meaning that there will always be a reason for gamers to return to Warrior Quest for another game, be it a short five minute session or one that lasts hours.

With the first build of the game now live the Warrior Quest development team have returned to working on the first expansion which will included a collection of new Battle Cards, new and revamped animations, and the first part of a new story mode. The first update for Warrior Quest is currently due on April 2nd. Future updates will follow every month from this.

Warrior Quest is the first in a series of new titles that will spearhead the recently re-launched NextGenBooks.com website. It has always been the goal of NextGenBooks.com to provide free content to home console, handheld console, and home computer gamers that explore new ways of storytelling.
