Neo Steam: The Shattered
Continent Turns Up the Heat with Realm versus Realm Combat

Get ready to let off some steam! For
the very first time, Atlus Online’s fantasy-steampunk massively multiplayer
online role-playing game (MMORPG), Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent, is
hosting a realm versus realm (RvR) showdown. Finally, the nations of Chrysalis
can engage in all-out, large-scale war to gain glory and proprietorship across
the divided lands. The latest update also allows players to utilize guild bases
and guild rankings to coordinate and commiserate with fellow members in between
exhaustive missions.

“Neo Steam is taking steampunk to
never-before-seen levels with realm versus realm play,” says Tyler Kim, Director
of the Online Division, Atlus U.S.A., Inc. “Including RvR in the game not only
reiterates Atlus Online’s emphasis on including the entire community but also
establishes Neo Steam as more than just another MMORPG.”

Atlus Online is known for its
dedication to its community, which makes RvR combat a natural addition to the
game. In order for players to lead their teams to victory, they need to work
together using an array of tactics and tools. In addition to fighting on foot,
players will pilot siege engines and construct a multitude of offensive and
defensive pylons, such as transport cannons, gun turrets, and zeppelin bombing
stations. Players level 50 and up can ride in demolishing siege engines, access
never-before-seen areas, and ransack harrowing dungeons to annihilate monsters
and solve mind-bending puzzles. Throughout these challenges, players will
accumulate varying levels of prestige, which determines their personal and guild
rankings. Along with the update comes the comfort of guild bases which grant the
top guilds respite from the relentless barrage of the battlefield and which
further spur players across the world to compete against each other to
demonstrate their guild pride.

The battle over Neo Steam takes
place between two warring states – the Kingdom of Elerd and the Republic of
Rogwel. As the nations fight for domination over Rope Isle’s resources, the Crom
mediators have divided the land so that each faction holds entitlement over a
different side of the island. However, ownership of the central region of the
island, where Energy Stones are most abundant, has never been allocated. To this
day, the nations continue to wage war for dominance over this region, and the
battles prove to be very profitable to whichever side can command the castles in
the end. Adding to the immersive aspect of the fantasy-steampunk world in Atlus
Online’s first MMO, the game also features various forms of steam-based machines
and vehicles to interact with.
