Shippuden: Season 2 Challenges Revealed

NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- NGames has put out a call for their strongest ninja, launching a series of limited time challenges and special offers to mark the introduction of Pockie Ninja's latest update, Shippuden: Season 2, an update for their Naruto and Bleach inspired MMO brawler, Pockie Ninja. Coming soon, the update raises the level cap to 90 and adds a slew of new content for players to explore.

The new level 90 cap is coming, bringing brand new quests and hidden secrets to uncover. Who will prove eligible for the 12-star weapon? Who will be the fastest ninja to reach 90? Who can reveal the secret in the 170th floor of Las Noches? And which team will best probe the mysterious new realm in Valhalla?

Season 2 continues the action packed journey of Naruto and his friends as they fight to stop the Akatsuki, a group of ninjas introduced in last month's Shippuden update who aim to plunge the world into darkness, while facing brand new quests, intriguing explorations, powerful monsters and challenging new bosses.

From Oct 14th – Oct 31st, budding ninjas can earn gifts galore for completing 5 events designed to test them to their very limits, all while exploring the fabulous new content of Shippuden Season 2.

Players scaling the dizzy 170-floor heights of the Las Noches Tower, reaching level 90, and finishing the Valhalla Lost Realm on hard – level difficulty before the deadline can all earn players in-game gifts and coupons. Ninjas reaching level 90 will unlock the special Ninja Graduate title, raising their stamina, agility and strength abilities by 25 points.

New Features and Skills

A new Inscription function is set to add another intriguing layer of strategy to Pockie Ninja's already tense tactical arena duels. By activating a Low or High "Inscription Talisman", players can raise the basic attack and defense power of their weapons for a limited period of time.

Cleverly timing when to activate the Inscription powers – which can be obtained via quests, combat and the in-game shop – could prove a key difference between earning victory and suffering defeat.

The Las Noches tower challenge will be playable 3 times per day instead of 2 when Season 2 is released, and will be expanded to a massive 170 floors!

Players ascending Las Noches face an increasingly tough risk/reward battle against enemy AI on each floor, with rare treasures, rewards and tons of EXP up for grabs. Are you ready for the challenge of making it all the way to top?

Shippuden: Season 2 also promises a host of key refinements to the anime-inspired MMO.

Levelling will now be quicker, thanks to lower EXP requirements and EXP increases for auto-combat. There will be exciting new ways to synthesis existing outfits and equipment, lower difficulty levels on Ninja Diary quests, and tweaks to the base stats of several in-game outfits, resulting in a more balanced gameplay experience.

What's more, with a helpful new tips system and new Newbie incentives, such as prizes for completing newbie quests and rewards just for logging in, Pockie Ninja is set to be more accessible than ever before.

NGames is also dishing out extra rewards for players who top-up their accounts and transfer gold before Oct 31st. Ninjas can choose one of tons of special packages from three different categories: EXP, Outfit and Item.

Each package contains much sought after gifts, such as Outfit Wishing Pots, Casting Talismans, even the brand new Two-Tailed Nekomata – a powerful skill to use in arena duels.

What's more, there's a big sale at the Pockie Ninja Shop from Oct 14th – Oct 23rd. Many of the most popular items will be available for BOGOF deals, including the much loved Beans!

Pockie Ninja's Shippuden: Season 2 update is launching on October 14th!
