With a new gameplay trailer, the MMORPG Elyon (formerly A:IR) entices players for more. We take this opportunity to introduce you to the online role-playing game once again.
What does the new trailer show? The Korean trailer for the MMORPG Elyon primarily showcases the action-packed combat of the game, which stands out from other online role-playing games.
Additionally, you will see battles against boss enemies, be shown skills, and in the end, the developers highlight the massive realm-versus-realm battles.
An MMORPG that looks like an action game
What is special about the video? As shown earlier, the combat does not give the impression usually associated with MMORPGs. For example, there is no tab-targeting and you must move, strike actively, and dodge in battles. If one didn’t know it was an online role-playing game, they might think Elyon is a new shooter.
This is because the battles happen incredibly fast and especially the ranged weapons remind one of shooter battles with machine guns.
Why is this interesting? The fast, shooter-like combat could especially appeal to players who find the combat in most other MMORPGs too slow. Elyon has the potential to attract shooter players to the genre.
So, if you love fast and highly action-packed battles in an online game, you should definitely take a look at Elyon.
What does the MMORPG have to offer in general? Elyon emerged from the MMORPG A:IR – Ascent: Infinite Realm, which was designed for aerial combat. However, it turned out that this concept did not resonate well with players, which is why the developers made a fundamental overhaul and transformed A:IR into the more classic MMORPG Elyon.
Aerial combat now plays only a minor role. Elyon now focuses on:
- The exploration of a large game world
- Fast, action-packed battles against monsters and boss enemies
- Group content
- PvE content and quests
- PvP battles
- Massive realm-versus-realm battles
- Grinding plays a role
