Ankama Launcher: New Interface for All Your Games! Info - 2020-08-05 16:30

More user-friendly, this new version of the platform will give you quicker access to the important information about Ankama games. It also has new features, and notably one that lets you add several accounts for DOFUS 2 (available in the game settings).

The game chat is now available from every page in the app.

Access to the most recent changelogs, news posts and devblogs is easier, and all the game-related content is now available directly from the game page.

The platform development team focused mainly on making the experience smoother for players using the Launcher: more shortcuts and better access to information.

All you have to do to enjoy this revamp is open the Ankama Launcher!
