EverQuest II will receive a new expansion, Descent to Val'zyroth, later this year, MassivelyOP reported. The announcement came in the MMORPG's producer's letter, which did not set a release date.
The expansion takes players underground, through Subtunaria and into the magic-soaked caverns of Underfoot. MassivelyOP reported that players will fight alongside the Tontu molemen, explore the Teir'Dal city of Neriondalon and breach Brell Serilis's planar workshops, in an effort to stop the machinations of Queen Cristanos.
Descent to Val'zyroth will also introduce the personas system, which was tested over the summer.
Pre-orders, beta and a showcase
Pre-orders open on Tuesday, October 13, the same day a beta becomes available, MassivelyOP reported. A livestream with the developers to show the expansion’s features is scheduled for Wednesday, November 18.
The producer's letter also covered seasonal events for the rest of the year, including an event gifting feature for this year's Frostfell. MassivelyOP noted that EverQuest announced its own 2026 expansion earlier in the week.
