Tibia is one of the best-known multiplayer online roleplaying games. It was first released in 1993, and has been running continuously ever since. Tibia’s future may be uncertain with its age and competition from newer titles like Fortnite, but right now it’s still a massive hit among gamers on PC as well as mobile platforms for both iOS and Android devices.
Tibia is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and it seems to be still raking in the dough. Since its debut in 1997 at the University of Regensburg, the pixel MMO has raked in 200 million Euros, according to CipSoft. But the company isn’t simply hammering its chest; it has a surprise in store for gamers.
When we looked into Tibia’s origins in detail for MOP’s Game Archaeologist column, we were astonished to learn that the game lacked both sound effects and music, a throwback to the days of MUDs. However, that period has come to an end today, with the addition of sound to the game as well as a number of celebration activities. “CipSoft expresses its gratitude to its devoted fans and offers a major surprise: Tibia will get sound for the first time!” said the team.
“The scheduled Pantibian Festival is a particular event we’d like to call your attention to as a highlight of the festivities!” Collect Theons – unique tokens – to join a select group of players who will soon have the opportunity to play alongside CipSoft’s four founders, the Gods of Tibia: Steve, Stephan, Guido, and Durin. In our featured post, you’ll discover all the specifics regarding this event, as well as a rundown of all the other scheduled activities and celebrations. Check it out and participate in the fun!”
Tibia, I wish you a happy birthday.
