Aventurine confirms character wipes for Darkfall reboot

Aventurine has finally answered a couple of long-standing questions concerning its Darkfall: Unholy Wars reboot. First off, yes there will be a character wipe & no, you won't be seeing your original Darkfall avatars in the new game.

"These are different Darkfall Unholy Wars gold games plus the DFUW character procedure is incompatible with the old characters. These are two 100% distinct worlds, there's a one of a kind skill acquisition program, different capabilities, different stats, all the way down to the story-line; everything makes them incompatible," explains producer Tasos Flambouras.

Interestingly, he mentions that the old characters will be preserved in some fashion, perhaps for "Darkfall-related side-activities we are thinking about."

Finally, the Unholy Wars client will be free of charge to everyone who has ever bought the original DFUW gold game. Read more at the official Darkfall blog.
