Visionary Realms have shared details on another of their upcoming role-playing game Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen's classes, the Dark Knight.

The new information comes in yet another Kickstarter update, as the developers are already starting to form a habit out of providing information and answering the community's enquiries.

The Dark Knight class is the first that allows players to make use of the dark energies surrounding Terminus. It was designed to lead the charge and always be in the front line of battle.

They are usually found wielding two-handed greatswords, or shields and axes, as well as other weapons such as maces, spears or lances.

The Dark Knight's unique abilities will allow him to blend into the shadows and manipulate the destructive side of the divine to attack their foes, even being able to summon allies from the shadow to protect and fight for them, by using the dark arts of necromancy.

Mainly focusing on destructive abilities and spells, the Dark Knight will attempt to feel both familiar and surprising to the game's players.

“In a game like Pantheon, we're really focused on giving players a classic MMO experience but we also want to add a bit of new flavor without sacrificing the appeal of what our fans are expecting,” said Salim Grant, director of Development.
