What is Deadman: Apocalypse?
The Wizards Tower report disturbances in the Abyss, missing persons reports are on the rise, and citizens all over the world are claiming to have seen monsters – the kind you only hear of in stories or beer-fuelled tales of bravado – stalking the shadows…
Every day, at regular intervals, ‘breaches’ appear around Gielinor. Think of a ‘breach’ like a tear or a gap in Gielinor’s reality. Breaches can crop up in any dangerous areas in the world (meaning anywhere PvP is enabled) and will spawn in both Single and Multi combat locations simultaneously. Once a breach appears, boss monsters will begin pouring through and into the real world – the likes of General Graardor, the King Black Dragon or even TzTok-Jad might find themselves wreaking havoc on Barbarian Village or skulking the Wilderness north of the Grand Exchange.
It’s up to you to get to these breaches and put these monsters down. Output enough damage and you’ll earn yourself the chance at scoring some exclusive, extremely powerful loot along with vast quantities of regular loot – so it’s in your best interest to gear up and get blasting those bosses, or to put other players in the dirt to improve your odds at coming out on top.
While these regular breaches certainly need tending to, they’re more than manageable for large groups of adventurers. Alarmingly, the Doomsayer believes there will come a time when these breaches burst into being all across Gielinor, with absolutely no sign of stopping. With annihilation seemingly inevitable, it’s up to you to do everything in your power to go down in the history books – your goal is be the last adventurer standing at the end of all things.
In slightly less dramatic words:
- A few times per day, you’ll be notified about breaches due to appear in the world. Head over there, fight bosses for a chance at powerful loot. Fight players to knock the competition down a peg and ensure you’re dealing more damage than others at the breach.
- At the finale, breaches will appear all over the place and monsters will wash over Gielinor. Fog will slowly creep in and force players to a final area.
- Fight bosses and each other in the final area until you’re the last player left standing.
We’ve chosen a new direction to go in this time around, moving emphasis away from the more competitive, 1v1 esports-style finale. Instead, we’re trying to focus in on those unforgettable random encounters with more participants than ever, wrestling for control over resources or breaches, and giving you an apocalyptic playground where you’ll shape experiences that you talk about with your friends for years to come.
That isn’t to say the 1v1 finales are gone forever, but this is the direction we’ve chosen this time around to try spicing things up and reignite that Deadman passion!
In between breaches and all the way up until the finale, you’ll be progressing by earning XP, chasing loot, eliminating other players and unlocking sigils (some old, some changed, some new) similar to Deadman: Reborn. Let’s dive a little deeper into exactly what’s changing this time around and what you can expect out of your time spent in Deadman: Apocalypse.
