Notably, it is co-written by author Tracy Hickman of Dragonlance (and, fittingly, the Shroud of the Avatar tie-in novel) fame. It sits somewhere between a single-player campaign and an MMO experience – what Garriott calls “selective multiplayer.” There is a traditional hero’s journey that you will be able to go through alone or with a party of mates.
Shroud of the Avatar has some modern tricks to flaunt but it is firmly rooted in classic RPG design. What will be your next adventure? Check out the best RPGs on PC. The game is due to arrive on PC on March 27th, which is soon, and so Garriott has plenty to say as he shows us around his latest ambitious project. Known formally as Richard Garriott, the legendary designer of Ultima and part-time astronaut has been working on Shroud of the Avatar, the successor to his classic RPG series. Lord British has kept busy over the past few years.
