XL Games just published a small batch of high resolution screenshots showing some absolutely stunning landscapes of their upcoming MMORPG ArcheAge, probably to wet the appetite of the fans that are currently waiting for phase 4 of the Closed Beta in South Korea.

Included in the bunch there's also a render of one of the working gliders that were featured in the transportation trailer shown last month.

The more I see of this game, the more I'm honestly impressed, and looking at the vistas shown in the screenshots, I can't help but be excited at the idea of exploring ArcheAge's boundless open sandbox world.

According to XL Games the game will definitely head to the west in the future, but while you wait you can head past the cut and enjoy the gallery.
