Sony Online Entertainment has set out to achieve a lot with Everquest Next. The sandbox MMORPG is supposed to grant players near-limitless freedom in the game world, perhaps like never seen before in an online role-playing game. The first presentation of the upcoming blockbuster showcased impressive images a few months ago, where a character dismantled a bridge, shattered arbitrary boulders, and made the nature around a few trees poorer. The special thing about this is that various elements do not disappear forever from the scene but can be “revived” by the player once they have been destroyed.
Landmark, the sister project of Everquest Next, allows you to interact with the environment in various ways. Probably even more than in Everquest Next. However, this is primarily about building.
The trailer “World of Imagination” released a few days ago is the first trailer of the Landmark series and already makes you crave for more. It clearly shows that the focus is on exploring the world and making it more vibrant through self-placed structures, for example. By the way, I highly recommend this recorded livestream, as it reveals much more of the innovative gameplay and is absolutely worth watching just for that:
In a few months, you can also see for yourself. The closed beta will start in spring 2014 – we will keep you updated. Those who want to be on the safe side should get a founder’s package; this guarantees you access to the testing phases.
Your Mein MMO team wishes you a lot of fun with the video.
