Brighter Shores Announced Today

Brighter Shores was announced on Twitter today by Jagex co-founder Andrew Gower. The game has been in development for 10 years and uses the proprietary Fenforge Engine. The game is set to release in Q3 2024.

Brighter Shores is an all new adventure from award winning MMORPG designer Andrew Gower. Explore a land of magic and mysteries, with a huge number of professions to try, and something new to find around every corner. Brighter Shores features an ongoing story and hundreds of hours of gameplay.

The game features 3 classes, a huge number of professions, a cozy atmosphere, an ever-expanding story, and will be free-to-play with an optional premium pass.

As the newest recruit in the Hopeport town guard, you are looking to make a name for yourself. This soon turns out to be a more challenging role than you had anticipated, with a strange storm raging over the harbor and unrest from the local goblins.

You will discover powerful magic sources and become one of the legendary classes of old: Cryoknight, Guardian or Hammermage. Which is fortunate, because something is corrupting the deepest reaches of the nearby Hopeforest, and only through the strength of your new-found powers will you be able to deal with it.
