EverQuest II’s Revelations of Malice Beta Starts August 11, Oceansfull Festival Returns
EverQuest II has two things on the calendar this week: a beta test for its next Game Update, Revelations of Malice, and the return of the Oceansfull Festival on live servers.
According to the announcement, the Revelations of Malice open beta begins August 11 at noon PT and runs until August 24 at 3pm PT. The update is currently set to launch August 25 at noon PT. Players will need to own the latest expansion, Rage of Cthurath, to download the beta client and take part.
Darkpaw has confirmed several familiar dungeon names for the update, including the Ossuary, Castle Highhold, Ssraeshza Temple, and Zavith’loa. These are being brought back as Fabled dungeons with a darker twist, though the studio is still holding back some specifics until players get into the beta.
The Oceansfull Festival is also back today, with the usual beach-side event activities plus a few additions. Per the festival post, the Clam Shell Game now has 33 total rewards, including 13 new items on live servers.
Awuidor: Trench of Terrors, the scaling event dungeon for levels 1 through 135, has new level 135 loot this time around. There’s also a new weapon aura, Essence of Ocean, available as a loot chance across all levels.
The festival is running on live servers now, with special ruleset servers getting access too, though available content may vary depending on expansion unlocks. Returning quests, collections, achievements, fireworks, dancing, and the usual pile of event rewards are all part of the seasonal setup.
