Bandai Namco is doing something a little different next year and releasing a console MMORPG called Bless Unleashed. The game will be free-to-play and at least for now is exclusive to Xbox One.
According to a fact sheet, Bless Unleashed was conceived with the hardcore MMO gamer in mind. It asks players to explore a vibrant, persistent world populated by gods and beasts. The game is currently in development at Round 8 Studio, NEOWIZ.
Curious to learn more? Check out the embedded trailer, which Bandai Namco just shared online today, and check out the following list of key features straight from the publisher:
- A Visually Stunning MMORPG Experience - Utilizing the Unreal Engine 4, the game brings unparalleled visuals and deep gameplay mechanics which offer one of the most beautiful MMORPGs built for a console platform.
- Combo-Driven Gameplay - Survive a menagerie of mythical beasts and other players with deep and rewarding combat system that features skillful combo mechanics coupled with action-oriented combat with dodging. A progression system handcrafted for online play and an integrated players-vs-player (PVP) mode provide added challenges and rewards at every turn.
- An Immersive Fantasy World - Dive into an open persistent world with a rich backstory and an intricate plot as players uncover divine secrets on their journey to defeat the return of an evil goddess.
- A MMORPG Built for Modern Consoles - Built from the ground up to be a comprehensively and robustly supported live service, every aspect, from story to combat to skill progression, has been carefully crafted with the console experience in mind.
- Classic Fantasy with a Twist – Choose between five classic fantasy jobs, including the arcane wielding Mage or the bloodthirsty Berserker. Travel the world in search of the truth about the gods with other adventurers and experience a personal brush with divinity.
