New Black Prophecy Patch Introduces New Missions & More!

Black Prophecy is a space MMO developed by Reakktor Media that was released on the 21st March 2011 in Europe. The game is set in the 26th century, where mankind has expanded across the galaxy, yet only few of its colonies are controlled by Humans. Two main factions dominate space: the cybernetically enhanced Tyi and the biogenetically perfected Genides.

Good news! At least for those of you playing the Free-To-Play MMO, the first patch is here.
