The Chinese MOBA Genesis wants to impress on consoles PS4 and Xbox One with Unreal graphics and a science fiction setting. But does anyone still want to play MOBAs?
What is Genesis? Genesis is supposed to be a new MOBA game with Unreal graphics. It is currently being developed by the Chinese studio Shanghai MOBA Network Technology. The game focuses primarily on action-packed battles and a lot of dynamics. The setting is based in the science fiction genre.
What is special about Genesis? Genesis is expected to offer action-packed battles. There will be three rival factions from which you can choose your heroes. A PvE mode is also planned. This, along with the graphic style, reminds of the now-defunct MOBA mix Master X Master from NCSoft. The game is expected to run on consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in addition to Steam and supports gamepads.
When is Genesis coming? The game has just completed a closed beta. The next testing phase is set to start in March.
Do we still need a MOBA in 2019?
How is Genesis received by players? MOBAs are far from trendy in 2019. While many studios are currently focusing on battle royale, they are trying a MOBA in China. Unfortunately, player interest in the comments under the first trailer seems rather lukewarm.
Some praise the action combat system, but many MOBA fans only want a game like Paragon back. The glossy action MOBA from Fortnite creator Epic Games ultimately failed to establish itself despite many rescue attempts in 2018 and was eventually shut down.
However, there is still a loyal fanbase that wishes for just such a game again. In Genesis, however, most fans do not see the hoped-for savior.
Those who like can actually create their own Paragon. The developers at Epic made the source code freely accessible back then.
