SNAIL GAMES USA today announced the release date of Heroes of Gaia: Rise of the Guilds, the latest expansion of the groundbreaking MMO RTS browser game, Heroes of Gaia (HoG).

With Rise of the Guilds (RoG), Snail Games USA will take free-to-play MMO browser gaming to the next level.  RoG introduces a rich variety of new gameplay elements to the already feature-rich HoG universe.  The expansion contains a new Guild Battle system which will create a deep Guild-versus-Guild (GvG) competition element, along with personal rankings, equipment forging, a number of new high-level NPCs, and a multitude of new functional and vanity items in the HoG Shop.

The RoG expansion will officially go live across all HoG realms on the morning of Thursday, May 27 after a brief period of scheduled maintenance late in the evening on Wednesday, 10 pm – 2 am (Pacific time).  Players will be able to log on instantly and access all of new HoG: RoG features at no cost and with no downloads.
