Nexon America has announced the release of a new content update for Mabinogi, its massively multiplayer online role playing game, adding number of never-before-seen features to the game including flying mounts, a new jungle zone and a set of new skills.

The update, titled "The Ancient Secrets of Irinid," includes a flying mount for the first time in the history of Mabinogi. The first mount, available through July 23, is the beautiful Thunderbird. There will be other flying mounts offered to players in the coming weeks. Mabinogi gold, The Thunderbird and other flying mounts will offer a great new way to travel throughout the game's two continents and assist players during ground battles.

The flying mounts deliver great assistance navigating the game's new zone, Courcle. This new land is filled with wild, untamed areas - including lush jungles, boggy swamps, grassy savannahs, and roaring rivers. Travelers must look out for a variety of deadly enemies, monsters, and animals - including elephants, and hyenas. Two new boss monsters, an enormous giant alligator and regal lion occupy Courcle and require supreme efforts to defeat.
