Blue Isle, the creators of the viral horror hit Slender, are working on a new game called Citadel: Forged with Fire. This sandbox MMO lets you play as an apprentice wizard and mixes elements of Harry Potter with Skyrim and Ark. It is set to launch for PC in July, with a PS4 and Xbox version to follow later.
Have you always wanted to venture out as an apprentice wizard into a fantasy world and experience many adventures? Do you want to tame dragons, subjugate orcs, and build a small kingdom as the leader of an army? And do you also want to build powerful castles and towers and fly around on a broom?
Then Citadel: Forged with Fire is a game you should look forward to. This sandbox MMO is from Blue Isle, the creators of Slender, and could possibly become a similarly viral hit.
Citadel: Forged with Fire – Explore like in Skyrim, tame creatures like in Ark
In Citadel you play a young apprentice wizard venturing out into the vast world. This world bears some resemblance to Skyrim, is 36 square kilometers large and is depicted with the sleek Unreal 4 engine. In this world, you will master spells, explore ancient ruins, and clash with other players.
Additionally, like in Ark, you can tame animals on the go and ride them. These include not only the mundane horses but also cool mounts like “shadow wolves” or even dragons!
Furthermore, you can build cool houses, castles, and wizard towers, but other players can destroy them with magic if you don’t defend them. For this purpose, you can band together in so-called “houses” and pool your resources and efforts.
Citadel: Forged with Fire – Magic like in Harry Potter
Your wizard in Citadel bears some resemblance to the Harry Potter series. Because if you don’t have a flying mount, you can hop on a broom and soar through the air in true Harry Potter fashion. However, if you don’t want an uncomfortable broomstick between your legs, you can also elevate yourself using magic. You leave a trail of black smoke behind you.
Citadel: Forged with Fire – Beta and Early Access coming in July
The development of Citadel is already quite advanced. On July 26, the game is set to enter Early Access via Steam. A beta phase is now available for registered and selected players.
Here’s the link for the beta registration for Citadel: Forged with Fire.
Citadel: Forged with Fire will initially launch for PC. Versions for the Playstation 4 and Xbox One are planned. However, a release date for these versions is still pending.
