Tibia players can now explore the game with a brand-new character class: the monk. This martial-arts fighter with mystical abilities is the first new “vocation” – as Tibia’s playable classes are called – since the MMORPG classic launched in 1997. Like knights, paladins, sorcerers, and druids, the monk can be leveled without limits and played for free indefinitely.
Seamless Integration
For the team at German developer CipSoft, it was crucial that the monk fits seamlessly into Tibia’s long-established fantasy world. In addition to a new area called Blue Valley, more than 70 items and 25 spells have been created, offering a unique playing experience. Over 130,000 lines of Tibia’s existing code have been adjusted to enable the monk to interact with NPCs and participate in legendary quests.
Community Feedback
Selected members of the Tibia community had the opportunity to try out the monk on a test server, where the new class attracted significant interest. Feedback from three separate testing phases led to numerous adjustments, benefiting all players with the official release of the monk. The maximum number of characters per account has also been increased.
Epic Games Store Launch
As of today, Tibia is also available on the Epic Games Store and can be downloaded for free. Players with an existing Tibia account can log into the game via the Epic Games Store.
