The developers of the MMORPG The Black Death want to attract more players and have released a new trailer to coincide with the release of a major update.
With the trailer, the developers want to showcase the grim world where everyone is out for themselves. A fruit vendor coughs as he passes a bystander to offer his goods at the market. But the people of the Middle Ages fear the plague, which leads to the vendor being attacked and fleeing the city in wounded state. There he must survive in the wilderness, ultimately causing him to murder a farmer and take over his house. He slowly expands it until a group of strangers approaches who apparently do not have good intentions.
The Plague Spreads
The Black Death will give you many freedoms in the dark Middle Ages. Whether you are a merchant, bard, soldier, or bandit is up to you. Above all hangs the sword of Damocles called “Plague”. Players can get infected and even die from the disease. Survival is therefore paramount, which is not so easy in the grim Middle Ages.
A New Update Aims to Make the Game More Interesting
No matter how interesting the premise of the game sounds, the current player numbers on Steam show that it is not yet well received. At the time this news was written, there were only eleven players online at the same time, as Steamcharts apparently shows. That is far too few for an MMORPG.
Therefore, the developers have released a major update that overhauls the combat system, introduces new respawn points, integrates daily rewards, and adds new areas where the plague rages. There, players can find the best loot, but it is extremely dangerous to stay there.
It should also be noted that The Black Death is still in an early access phase and will continue to evolve. Hopefully, more players will take an interest in the MMORPG and it can reach its full potential.
