Hey, what’s that that has appeared? Paradox Interactive surprisingly released a video that teases World of Darkness.
After Paradox Interactive acquired the license to World of Darkness from CCP Games, the chances for an MMORPG in this interesting and dark universe seemed quite low. Just a few days ago, the company announced that they might use the assets of the canceled MMORPG. And now they have released a teaser trailer that apparently turns words into action.
What is World of Darkness?
The teaser is very short and shows that humans are apparently the evil ones, who have dedicated themselves to machines and turned against Mother Nature. Monsters and humans are now trapped in a world of darkness. Wild speculation is going on about what this might mean. Is Paradox actually working on an MMORPG?
The name suggests it. However, there is also the possibility that it could just be a teaser for the entire World of Darkness series, simply introducing the “new” universe, which also includes novels and the pen-and-paper RPG. At the moment, we can only speculate.
The community assumes that Paradox might first focus on a single-player RPG. Resuming work on the World of Darkness MMO wouldn’t be easy, as a new team would need to get acquainted with it. Creating an entirely new MMO from scratch would also not be so easy, as development costs for an MMO are very high. Additionally, they know single-player RPGs somewhat better, as they publish the successful RPG Pillars of Eternity from Obsidian Entertainment, for example.
We can be curious to see what this means. 2016 is likely to be very interesting for fans of the World of Darkness.
