In the recent news post, "Revelations of Gipat: The Lost Allod," gPotato and Gala-Net announced the first expansion being developed for Allods Online. Titled "The Mysterious Allod of Gipat." the expansion focuses on the allod (an island, as they are called in the MMO) of "Gipat," which has been lost somewhere in the Astral for decades, according to the initial post. When the news of a "cryptic black stone" that allows adventurers to travel to the long-lost allod reaches the capital cities, players are sent to investigate the forgotten land.

Upon arrival, players are met by a "strange little dragon who believes that each and every visitor may be the Chosen One." Players will be charged with completing a series of trials and obstacles to prove themselves in Gipat, while "the ghostly apparitions of its former citizens and beasts" roam the land. The publisher hasn't disclosed a release date yet; the initial announcement is a brief teaser with a short description of the expansion. You can read the full description after the jump, which also includes the first three screenshots from the expansion that Gala-Net posted with the announcement.
