Nexon has announced a new MMORPG called Dragon Hound, which will be presented in more detail at the Chinese fair G-Star. It seems to be aimed at fans of Monster Hunter World.
Dragon Hound is expected to be a large MMORPG using Unreal Engine 4 and apparently targets fans of Monster Hunter and World of Tanks(!).
Since Dragon Hound is more of a classic MMO, we might actually expect here what Bless was originally intended to be.
Monster Hunter meets Bless?
What is Dragon Hound? With the MMORPG, Nexon aims to reach players who desire a large online role-playing game on PC and perhaps wanted more MMO elements in Monster Hunter World.
- Fights against gigantic boss monsters are the focus
- Mounts play a significant role
- Combat on mounts is expected to be a central element
- You embark on a monster hunting quest in the game world
When will there be more? Next week, from November 15 to 17, G-Star will take place, a fair in China focused on online games. There, Nexon intends to reveal more details about Dragon Hound.
Who is developing the game and when will it be released? Dragon Hound is being developed by DevCat, who are also responsible for the Mabinogi series. Nexon is the publisher. No release date or information regarding an alpha or beta has been announced yet.
This could get interesting
Why should MMO fans be excited? MMO fans are waiting for the next big MMORPG and were disappointed by Bless, which was supposed to take on this role. Perhaps Nexon can fill this gap with Dragon Hound.
- A small gameplay teaser shows a beautiful game world where hunting giant creatures takes place
- It is a large PC MMORPG being developed with Unreal Engine 4
- The game visually resembles Bless somewhat
- It could be a classic MMORPG focused on monster hunting
These questions remain unanswered: So far, only two videos of the game have been shown, which do not reveal much about the gameplay.
- Will there be proper quests?
- What about PvP?
- Is there crafting and housing?
- Is it a theme park MMO, or will it be more like Monster Hunter World?
- Will the game come to Europe?
At G-Star 2018, more information about Dragon Hound was revealed. It is expected to remind one of Monster Hunter, but also of World of Tanks.
