The Giants Return To EverQuest In With The Launch Of Torment Of Velious

Things are getting chilly in EverQuest, thanks to the release of the Torment of Velious Expansion. The game's 26th expansion brings giants back to the game and introduces a new icy landscape capable of turning every (living) thing it touches into ice-inflicted zombie creatures.

In this update, players will find that the Eastern Wastes are almost -- but not quite -- sealed off from the rest of the world. Ry'Goor Keep has seen better days, and its orc inhabitants are dead. To access the keep, players will need to get a lift from some griffins in the Desert of Ro.

Torment of Velious takes players to the Crystal Caverns -- dug during the reign of Dain Frostreaver and fought over for generations. It also introduces Velketor's Labyrinth, a stronghold built under Velious, and Kael Drakke, the home of the great storm giants -- as well as a city dedicated to the war god.

The update is available to play now for those who have purchased the expansion.
