Look, let's be honest: MMORPG history wouldn't be the same without EverQuest. Now, the team is looking to recapture that lightning in a bottle with EverQuest Legends, which has officially set its release date for 28 July.

Alongside the announcement, pre-orders are now live. You are looking at a price tag of $19.99 (approx. 30,000 KRW) for the initial month, which covers your first subscription; moving forward, the monthly sub will settle at $9.99.

EverQuest Legends is aiming to polish the original's aesthetic—its graphics, music, zones, and gear—with a modern, contemporary touch. The developers are also introducing a cleaner user interface, a streamlined spell and ability management system, and several quality-of-life adjustments. As for the gameplay, it's not just a nostalgia trip; you can now master up to three classes per character, juggling their respective abilities, spells, and stats. Toss in some gear enhancement and a flexible system for swapping and combining item effects, and you have got a recipe for some truly formidable builds.

The game is being pitched as a more casual take on the massive multiplayer experience, designed to let you explore at your own pace. EverQuest Legends will operate as a live service, with a steady stream of DLC and expansions in the pipeline. We already know Kunark is on the way, and there are original, never-before-seen content pieces being cooked up as we speak.

EverQuest Legends is launching exclusively for PC, though do mind that there is no support for the Korean language at this time.
