Backflip Studios’ Dragonvale (Free) may be a little old, but there’s still a ridiculous amount of people playing the game. To keep players engaged, Backflip has continually been rapid-firing new content into the world of Dragonvale. Currently, there’s more than 270 dragons that players can collect in game, and as of this morning they’ve introduced a second “legendary" dragon to the game. (If this is all going over your head, a legendary dragon in Dragonvale has special abilities and effectively looks way cooler than non-legendary dragons.) Players will need to be at least level 30 to begin building Gaia’s Perch to summon the new dragon, but it’s not as easy as just building a new building and waiting for a timer- To summon Gaia, players will need to send their dragons on quests and compete in races to collect the various rewards and artifacts to build their nursery.
It’ll be worth it though, both for the prestige of having a legendary dragon, as well as Gaia’s special power which allows players to instantly hatch an egg. Here’s what that all looks like in motion:
If you haven’t fiddled around with Dragonvale, yet, you really should give the game a shot. It’s sort of incredible playing a game that was released in 2011 which has been updated so much, as the amount of content included right now is just crazy. If you start playing today, you’ve got years worth of stuff to play through, even if you’re playing at a good pace. And, hey, legendary dragons, those are always cool, right?
