Square Enix just released Wakfu patch 0.305, and this one introduces the Sacrier and Xelor classes to the game. It also includes two new "arcade" dungeon types: Time Attack dungeons that must be completed quickly, and Survival dungeons that require players to face waves of enemies.
Wakfu is currently in closed beta in North America. For more details, check out Senior Staff Writer Chris "Pwyff" Tom's thoughts on the game.
Square Enix has released a new video that provides some detail's on Wakfu's ecosystem. As the narrator points out, the game's world is always changing:
"You wield the power to protect or destroy natural resources in an ever-evolving ecosystem. Because everything you do has lasting impact, Wakfu is never the same world twice. Unlike other massively multiplayer games, this world doesn't just regenerate resources, it's always changing."
You can watch the new trailer below. For more details on Wakfu, check out our recent look at the game's closed beta. Wakfu will enter open beta in North America this summer.
A new Wakfu patch is now available, and this one introduces two new character classes to the closed beta. Players can now try out the Ecaflips, reckless gamblers who leave everything to chance, and the Enutrofs, treasure hunters looking for the mother lode.
Players can also now venture to the new territory Emelka in the land of Amakna, or visit the City of Mercenaries, Astrub. To top things off, Square Enix has implemented a major development of the Political System which grants Governors the ability to set policies and appoint their own government officials.

In an industry that's filled to the brim with generic MMORPG buzz words like "casual friendly," "next-generation graphics," and "action-packed combat," Ankama Studios' incredibly successful turn-based 2D MMORPG, Dofus, has always stood out as a rare MMO that walks its own path. Now, six years after Dofus barrelled out of France and took the world by surprise, Ankama Studios and North American publisher Square Enix are getting ready to, once again, venture off the beaten path with their highly anticipated MMO sequel, Wakfu.
With Wakfu's open beta just around the corner (April 27 internationally, which doesn't include North America), I decided to grab my closed beta key to venture back into Ankama's beautiful world.
UPDATE: Square Enix just clarified that the international open beta date is April 27, but this plan does not include North America. The NA date will be announced in the future.
If you've been wanting to try out Wakfu, it looks like you won't have to wait much longer. Square Enix and Ankama announced today that the open beta will begin on April 27, which is when the free-to-play game will become available to all players.
