It seems fitting to celebrate World Space Week in a free-to-play space combat MMO. In honor of the educational endeavor, Black Prophecy will be hosting two special events:
"The 1st event will offer players an increase of 25% XP for missions and enemy kills. The 2nd will offer an additional 15% extra KK$ on all packet purchases worth 9,99€ or more in our Premium Shop. Celebrate World Space Week with us and utilize this opportunity to bolster your ship for the Warzone battles!"
Black Prophecy Episode 2: Species War is now live, bringing with it the Warzone PvP feature and various balance adjustments. Here are some details on Warzones:
"Players will find a new Warzone tab on their starmap displaying all of the currently contested borders. Up to 200 players can battle for a single Warzone, fulfilling a variety of roles from breaching outer defenses, providing external support, to capturing the command center itself. Pilots gain experience from every PvP kill within a warzone, as well as Honor Points which they can trade for rare blueprints at the new Honor Vendor!"
Gamigo is hosting two weeks of bonus XP events through October 6 to coincide with the launch of the expansion. Watch the Episode 2: Species War trailer below for more details on the update.
