EverQuest: The Buried Sea Launched

Sony Online Entertainment has released "EverQuest: The Buried Sea," the latest expansion in the EverQuest series.

"The Buried Sea introduces players to a new type of inventory slot called a Power Source which is used for new equipment available in the expansion, known as an Energeian Power Source. Energeian Power Sources are similar to a magical battery and come in a variety of types such as: fire, cold and light. Within the expansion, a new type of armor is available called Energeiac Armor which, while relatively basic by itself and suitable for a player to wear out in Norrath, is built to be powered by an Energeian Power Source and comes into its full power when that is the case. For example, when a fire-magic power source is equipped the armor gains offensive stats, increasing stamina, strength, and endurance but weakens the wearer’s ability to resist cold-based attacks. Power sources can be changed out at any time, allowing the player to quickly customize their entire armor set to best match the conditions they are fighting in."

"EverQuest The Buried Sea is available only via digital download, for the suggested retail price of U.S. $29.99 at www.station.com."

Along with this announcement, twenty new screenshots have been released. Here are the first five, you can find the rest in the game's gallery.
