Plan 8 is a new MMO shooter from Korea developed by Pearl Abyss, the company behind Black Desert. A first trailer now gives an insight into Plan 8 – and it looks awesome.
What is Plan 8? The new MMO shooter Plan 8 takes place in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi world where humanity fights for survival.
Players will face terrifying creatures, crazed robots, and an interesting and mystical story. Plan 8 focuses on realistic graphics, action-packed gameplay, and MMO elements.
Pearl Abyss utilizes the experiences from their previous MMORPGs to create a new kind of MMO shooter, as they claim. They are joined by Minh Le, one of the two “Counter Strike” creators.
Comments on Plan 8 Trailer are Overwhelming
What does the trailer show? The first trailer for Plan 8 starts with in-game footage, but mostly features cinematics. It provides insights into the dark and destroyed game world.
The trailer shows various monsters, some of which are particularly large, strong, or fast. Humans also fight each other at times. Players gather in groups or fight alone. They use classic rifles, but also futuristic weapons.
Plan 8 appears to be something very unique and not necessarily a rip-off of other MMO shooters.
