Catacombs is the third commercial expansion pack to Dark Age of Camelot (after Shrouded Isles and Trials of Atlantis). The expansion adds a totally new, vast and diverse underground world to the game, in order to put a little more weight on dungeon adventures. There is a new entry point to these 15 catacomb regions in the capital city of each of the three realms. The catacombs themselves are the same for every realm, although they are handled separately so there is no RvR combat. Other features include the biggest graphics engine update in the history of the game, allowing for more customized characters and faces, "Private Adventuring" which adds instanced dungeons for letting individuals and groups adventure in their own private catacombs, as well as 5 new character classes: the Heretic for Albion, the Vampiir and Bainshee for Hibernia, and finally the Warloks and Valkyries for Midgard.

Trials of Atlantis is the second expansion pack to the Online Roleplaying Game "Dark Age of Camelot" by Mythic Entertainment. The main addition consists of a new area for players to explore and battle monsters in, the lands of the lost civilization of Atlantis. It includes the large underwater world of Oceanus, the Egyptian-flavoured and hot desert of Stigya, the even hotter and hellish Volcanus with lots of lava, and the flying islands of Aerus. But the civilization of Atlantis has long been wiped from the planet, and now archaeologists are searching the ruins. The inhabitants of Atlantis have, however, created some sort of obstacle course, which stood the test of time. The players are now able to take these "Trials of Atlantis", journeying the lost lands and battling terrifying creatures, to find out about the true magic and power of Atlantis. The new area is targeted at high-level characters, considering that a character has to be at least Level 40 to begin with the first trial. Further, the lands of Atlantis are accessible from every realm, but every realm has its "own" Atlantis, so there are no Player vs. Player fights. The Addon also contains one new race for each of the three realms (The half-ogres for Albion, the Shars for Hibernia and the Frostalfs for Midgard) and an even more improved graphics engine, mainly giving players better textures and new water effects.

Aura Kingdom takes place in an anime-styled vast world rendered with detailed graphics. The game consists of primarily open world with instances that can either be partaken as solo or in a party. Players can choose between a variety of classes, with ten classes released and an upcoming one, as of May 2014. The players can freely customize their character or avatar with many choices of hair styles and faces and much more. It is then proceeded with the choice of four Eidolons, who will accompany the player throughout the game, while also giving the ability to earn other Eidolons. Within the game, the player can interact with many non-player characters and enter combat mode with monsters outside of the hub world. The combat system is primarily the player using a wide variety of skills corresponding with the class against the monsters, who also have their own set of skills. The majority of the game is to simply attack and defeat the monsters along the way while partaking quests. The combat system is unique in a way that, although the player has to click on a monster to engage in combat, the player also has the ability to move to dodge and use their skills in a variety of ways. With an accompanying Eidolon, the player's Eidolon can also fight alongside their character, and also use a combination attack. The combat system is not merely a "click-and-watch" combat. Outside of the combat system, the player can also engage in several different tasks, such as fishing, crafting, and many more. While the game is situated in a free-to-play environment, the game also allows the players to purchase Aeria Points, or for short AP, that allows the players to use that monetary value for special in-game items found in the Item Mall. Otherwise, the game uses the gold and silver tactic, which can be acquired a number of ways. The game also allows the use of trade, a self-installed stall in Navea, and the Auction House. Players can also use the mailing system to mail other players using the cash-on-delivery system.
