NetEase has released a video for the upcoming online game Nostos. In Nostos, players roam a post-apocalyptic world in search of resources while constantly fleeing from the dangerous “Coralsea.” The game utilizes the MMO technology SpatialOS to simulate a vast and vibrant world.
What is Nostos? The online game Nostos takes place in a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by cute animals and nasty monsters. Players often encounter the remnants of a former civilization, but the buildings have long since fallen into disrepair and are abandoned.
The world of Nostos is full of dangers. The deadly “Coralsea” continues to expand, forcing players to stay on the move. However, traveling in Nostos is perilous. Powerful monsters lurk everywhere, waiting for the players.
Players must form clans to survive
The multiplayer aspect of Nostos: Because the world is so dangerous, players need to look for trustworthy companions with whom they can gather resources and embark on quests for mysterious relics. These relics are the only way to protect players from annihilation.
Together with their companions, players prevent the world’s downfall in Nostos. And perhaps they will even manage to “revive” the world.
During their journey through this decaying world, players wander through deserts, climb mountains, and traverse forests. The game’s graphics are inspired by classic anime style, which you can take a look at in our image gallery.
How to play Nostos? Nostos is played in first-person using a VR headset. The trailer reveals some gameplay elements.
- Players can chop down trees and use the collected wood to build shelters.
- A car can be used by players to travel faster through the world of Nostos.
- At night, nasty creatures await the players. Players can defend themselves against monsters with melee and ranged weapons.
- The game features a day-night cycle and changing seasons.
SpatialOS enables a vibrant world
Nostos utilizes SpatialOS: The online game Nostos relies on the cloud-based technology SpatialOS to achieve its ambitious goal. SpatialOS serves as a development platform and aims to enable vibrant and extremely large online worlds.
