Gaming site GameGossip recently posted an interview with NCSoft producer Lance Stites on the upcoming new episode series for their popular MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) Lineage. Named Dark Conquest, this new saga will be formed of six separate episodes, which will sport several improvements from the original Linage universe ranging from new land masses and castles to a host of weapons and armor.

Here is a brief excerpt of the interview:

How many episodes are planned in the Lineage: Dark Conquest saga and how often will they be released?
This epic consists of 6 new episodes, to be delivered over the next three years and represents an aggressive approach at delivering new content and gameplay enhancements. The timeframe will vary, but they should be released in approximately six month intervals.

Will different episodes add new features and races, or just new areas to explore and quests to perform?
While detailed feature lists continue to be generated, it’s a safe bet that new features will continue to be released—and not just with new episodes. The Lineage Development Team continues to aggressively release new and interesting features on an almost weekly basis. Current plans do incorporate many changes, additions, and features beyond simple new maps.
