February 10, 2025 – Tibia, the beloved MMORPG that has captivated millions since the late 1990s, is about to introduce a groundbreaking addition. For the first time in its 28-year history, a new playable character class, known as a “vocation,” will be available. The monk, a melee fighter with support and healing abilities, is set to bring a fresh dynamic to the game.
The monk’s martial-arts combat style and mystical powers will allow players to vanquish opponents and support allies in innovative ways. This new vocation has been a long time coming, with many believing it was too complex and risky to develop. However, as the product manager, known as Niadus, explains, the more the team discussed it, the more it felt like a natural step for Tibia.
Starting February 25, multiple playtests will give the Tibia community a chance to try out the monk and provide feedback. If all goes well, the official launch is planned for the second quarter of this year. Preliminary information about the monk’s core gameplay mechanics is already available on the official Tibia website, with more details to come in the following weeks.
The introduction of the monk is yet another innovation for Tibia’s loyal community, following the addition of sound and music in 2022. Niadus sees this new vocation as an opportunity to rekindle the sense of discovery that has always been a part of Tibia. Players will have the chance to learn the intricacies of the monk, experiment with new strategies, and adapt to new team compositions.
As Tibia continues to evolve, the monk is poised to make a significant impact, offering players a new way to experience the game’s rich fantasy world.
