Nexon has unveiled a new MMO. “Project A1” focuses on graphical beauty. Can the gameplay keep up with the visuals?
Update: In a later presentation, “Project A1” was described as a science fiction MOBA, set to release before 2020.
Project A1 – Graphic Splendor Thanks to Unreal Engine 4
At the “Nexon Developer Conference 2016” or short “NDC2016”, Nexon conjured up a new MMO – at least in the initial stages. Even though not many details about the game are known, one thing has already been made clear: Stunning graphics are the focus of this title, and especially the rendering of characters is expected to blow players away. This is made possible, among other things, by Unreal Engine 4.
According to the developers, the game will also require a high-end PC, as the graphics are meant to be a unique selling point that players cannot experience elsewhere to such an extent. In a short video, one can see initial details of character animation and – as expected – a bit of wobbly body parts of ladies.
Otherwise, not much is known about “Project A1” so far – hopefully, more will be revealed in the coming days.
Mein-MMO says: Especially in the MMO sector, it is quite rare for developers to declare that they are only producing for “high-end” machines. However, taking detailed graphics as the hook for a complete game is something usually seen in shooters or other single-player titles. Whether it will turn out to be more than just nice effects will likely be revealed in the coming months.
