[i]Shadowbane: Throne of Oblivion?[/i] expansion pack will be
available on November 30. The expansion for the massively multiplayer
online (MMO) game [i]Shadowbane?[/i] will feature an entirely new
realm and rulership system that allows players to seize and vie for
control of sections of the game world.

[i]Shadowbane: Throne of Oblivion[/i] brings guild warfare and city
sieging to an exciting new level with a strategic end-game that is
unprecedented in the genre of MMO games. ‘Build an Empire’ was one of
the early rallying cries of Shadowbane and with this expansion, our
players can do exactly that,” said Frank Lucero, Shadowbane’s
producer. “[i]Shadowbane: Throne of Oblivion[/i] brings with it the
new Vampire Race, new classes and disciplines, each with special
powers and abilities designed to enrich PvP combat. Additionally,
graphical improvements and extensive refinements to the existing siege
system will enrich play and improve performance.”

New classes, including the Nightstalker, Necromancer, and disciplines
including Vampire bloodlines and four new siege disciplines will also
debut in [i]Shadowbane: Throne of Oblivion[i].
