Vanguard: Saga of Heroes is a free-to-play MMO that was launched by SOE in 2007. Danuser continues, “Our expanded design team is a great mix of veterans who’ve been around since the early days of Vanguard development, along with some, like myself, who are new to the project.

“We’re leveraging this diversity to freshen up older content while simultaneously working on brand new stuff for our veteran players. We feel improving older content is important as new players find the game for the first time, but we’re committed to providing new content to those ardent fans who have loved the game for years and continue to stand by it.”

The competitive nature of the F2P insures he’ll have to shake things up, but it’s good to see developers receiving new opportunities, despite the instability in the industry.

There appears to be three races in these screenshots: Almain, Dverga, and Jottun.

The studio has been in trouble because of poor performance of Kingdoms of Amalur: Recknoning and haven’t been able to play salaries of their employees.

We covered this over here, where the Rhode Island Governer revealed some details on the studio. Direct link to the full resolution and uncropped ones can be found here.

The member named as AlynShir wrote that, “Amalur is worth fighting for. Spread the fire.” I personally think these screenshots look amazing.
