Destiny of Ancient Kingdoms more commonly known as DOAK, is the first South African free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) to be released on Steam.[1] DOAK was created with the purpose of giving South Africans a PC game that they can truly call their own. Destiny of Ancient Kingdoms was developed and distributed by Utopia Dream Entertainment Alliance (UDEA) in South Africa.[2] The story for Destiny of Ancient Kingdoms begins in a prehistoric age after Giants and Gods battled each other to decide the fate of the world.[3] The game is currently shut down, along with the primary website.
Development[edit]
The open beta was made available to the public on 5 December 2015,[4] with one server available “Utopia-1” that offers a combined PvE and PvP orientated experience. Destiny of Ancient Kingdoms was then made available to the public on 28 February 2016.[5]
After receiving a rating from the Film and Publication Board of South Africa, UDEA launched Destiny of Ancient Kingdoms on Steam. After three weeks on Steam Greenlight,[6] the game was approved by the Steam community and was officially released on 30 August 2016.[7]
Destiny of Ancient Kingdom's release on STEAM[8] was covered by a single international website[9] posting reviews and articles about the game in many different languages.[10][11]
