The Korean publisher Nexon and developer Neople have announced the new joint project BBQ. It is a 3D action MMORPG for PC, based on their older MMORPG Dungeon Fighter Online.
What is Dungeon Fighter? The joint game by Nexon and Neople is a successful 2D side-scrolling MMORPG in Korea, inspired by classic arcade beat ’em ups.
The battles take place in large instanced dungeons, leading players through hordes of monsters threatening their kingdom.
The new Project BBQ will partly be based on the lore and mythology of Dungeon Fighters and borrow some character classes from its predecessor.
What is known about Project BBQ? The game is an action MMORPG in a colorful anime style, developed in collaboration with Nexon and Neople. The combat system, where combos of abilities will play an important role, is based on arcade beat ’em up games.
Players will have a choice of “seven or eight” different characters, each with unique abilities and weapons. The game world will mostly be “seamlessly open”, with the exception of instanced dungeons. Developed with Unreal Engine 4, it will also be the first “Dungeon Fighter” game to be entirely in 3D.
Project BBQ has been in development for about a year. You can see how the MMORPG looks in action in the reveal trailer:
It is still unknown which payment model Project BBQ will use. However, it can be assumed that it will be free-to-play with a cash shop, as is the case with many Nexon games.
