Sony Online Entertainment and Sigil Games have crafted a new batch of screenshots from the upcoming massively multiplayer online role-playing game, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes Marked by its lush environments reminiscent of oil paintings, Vanguard is currently in closed beta, and scheduled to ship this winter. In the immersive fantasy world of Telon, players are free to take their own paths by flying to floating adventure areas in the sky, or riding a swift steed through exotic lands.

The only limits are your own in Telon, where the adventurous can choose from multiple paths of exploration within the three spheres of advancement, Adventuring, Crafting, and Diplomacy. Players can delve into the mysteries of Telon, and embark upon quests to slay monstrous beasts locked deep inside rugged mountain ranges. Those with a quick mind can use diplomacy to convince kings to move armies and change the course of history. With player-crafted boats, flying mounts, and customizable player housing, Vanguard offers players a world of their own choosing.
