The developers of the MMORPG Ashes of Creation have released a new gameplay video that showcases the MMORPG favorably.
Ashes of Creation will be an MMORPG for PC that is currently in the pre-alpha phase. The developers are now presenting a new gameplay video:
What is shown in the video gives the impression that the developers are presenting a nearly finished MMORPG just before release. Even the UI looks as good as what other games offer in their release versions.
This impression is misleading, though, as even though Ashes of Creation looks strong, there is still a lot of work to be done to add content and expand the game systems as well as to optimize balancing. Not much of the crafting aspect has been shown so far.
A good cross-section of the MMORPG
The video essentially showcases a cross-section of the MMORPG. You see pretty much what you will be able to do in the “finished” version regarding adventures and exploration. This includes:
- Exploration of dungeons
- The new Underrealm
- Fights against monsters
- The exploration of the overworld
- The expansion of a city “node”
- The defense of a city against a monster
- Teamplay in groups
That looks good
Almost an hour of gameplay footage is visible, accompanied by comments from the developers explaining some of what is shown. For example, about the expansion of the node, which became an elven city through the actions of the players in the video. Graphically, Ashes of Creation already makes a good impression, even though the game is still in the pre-alpha phase.
So, if you are excited about Ashes of Creation, you can watch the video and see for yourself the advanced state of the MMORPG.
2018 will be a very interesting year for the MMORPG Ashes of Creation.
