PC gamers have something positive to look forward to next year as a new MMORPG is on the brink of dropping from developer
Artificial Core.
Quarter 4 of 2020 will see the release of the developer's first title -
Corepunk - which will take the MMORPG elements that everyone loves about games like these and inject an open world aspect that puts control in the hands of the player.
Featuring non-linear storylines and a dynamic fog-of-war system, the game is said to feel like a mix of two extremely popular titles -
Diablo and
Ultima Online which is certain to be an intriguing aspect for fans of PC gaming. Check out what the producer had to say about the game in the press release below.
“Corepunk represents a synthesis of our favorite settings and themes from science fiction. Over the course of five years, we’ve expanded our team to over 100 people to ensure our vision of the ultimate futuristic fantasy comes to life. We can’t wait to have MMORPG fans live out their technocratic dreams with us.” - Eugene Kiver, Corepunk Producer
With the decision to choose how they wish to proceed in their adventure, players will be able to visit numerous intricately detailed environments during their gameplay. Players will be able to explore as they wish and take on missions in the order they want to - truly setting this title apart from those like it and giving it a fresh feel.
A desert camp in the middle of nowhere and a vast metropolis booming with activity are only a couple of the locations players will be able to explore on their journey. Take a look at the screenshots below to see what's in store.
In addition to vast landscapes the game also features PVP which will require strategy and keeping distance from your opponent. The game is said to challenge players and require them to learn their enemy's weaknesses in order to claim victory. The usual MMORPG job components (mining, crafting, etc) are also present in the title.
With multiple endings available and no true way to play - this new game certainly looks like a time killer for fans of the genre. Check out the trailer for
Corepunk below!
Developed with the Unity engine, Corepunk will be the first game by Amsterdam-based studio Artificial Core. The debut title is an open-world MMORPG.
Corepunk will launch in Q4 of 2020 for PC. Sign up for the open beta here.
