The indie studio Intrepid aims to create a very interesting MMORPG with Ashes of Creation that sounds almost too good to be true. However, with a new gameplay video, the developers prove that they follow their words with actions.
The new video showcases the mage we already know from the first video. This time, however, she is traversing a beautiful forest landscape, where she must fight against numerous foes. All of this already makes a solid impression in this early version and does not need to hide behind currently available MMOs. The graphics are extremely detailed, colorful, and simply beautiful. Even the interface already appears relatively polished.
Meaningful Seasons
The area shown in the pre-alpha video is an autumn forest, representing the seasons that play a role in Ashes of Creation. Not just visually, but also gameplay-wise. In different seasons, you will encounter different monsters or be able to complete different quests. Perhaps a part of the area is inaccessible in winter, and when spring opens the pass, you can establish a new trade route. Seasons are also supposed to affect NPCs, skills, and resources.
Is the game further along than expected?
Once again, the video shows how the mage floats over an abyss with her spells and opens a dungeon. In this dungeon awaits a boss fight against a particularly dangerous and large monster. She uses many spectacular spells. Overall, the video makes a fantastic impression.
It seems that the MMORPG Ashes of Creation is already further along than initially thought. The start of an alpha this year doesn’t seem so unrealistic anymore.
