Project W is the working title for an upcoming super MMORPG from developers Bluehole and Kakao Games. On the occasion of the G-Star 2017 fair in Korea, new images featuring airships, jetpacks, and action-packed gameplay have been released! Will Project W ultimately be more of a shooter than a classic MMORPG?
When two companies with extensive MMO experience like developer Bluehole (TERA) and publisher Kakao Games (Black Desert Online) join forces to develop a new online role-playing game, you can rightfully be excited. However, as is customary in Korea, developers often remain silent for months about projects still in development. The game doesn’t even have a proper name yet, only a project title.
However, at least you can soon hope for more information, as the developers have shown the first new images in a teaser for Project W in light of the upcoming G-Star 2017 fair in South Korea.
Will Project W be a Steampunk action MMO or a loot shooter?
The few images seen in the G-Star teaser show stunning graphics and battle suits equipped with jetpacks attacking heavily armed airships. The style generally resembles Steampunk, a genre where gears, steam engines, brass decorations, and mystical reagents play a significant role.
In addition, it seems that the action in Project W will not be lacking. You jump from ship to ship with jetpacks and fire with Gatling guns. The gameplay snippets resemble a shooter more than a classic MMORPG.
Will Project W ultimately be some sort of loot shooter like Borderlands or Warframe?
More details will likely only be available at the start of G-Star 2017 in South Korea. The fair begins on November 16 and ends on November 19, 2017.
Update: Project W now has a name – it is called “Ascent: Infinite Realm”, short AIR, and it is an MMORPG that will also come to the West. We will report on this shortly.
