The strategy and action MMO War Rage is entering beta in China. It is expected to be released here in the West in 2018.
Sunday is often the day when we take a look at the Far East, at games beyond the mainstream. What are they developing in Asia, where are the trends heading?
We have reported on War Rage several times before. This is one of those new action/strategy MMOs that are currently trending in Asia. Other games of this genre include the eternally lost Kingdom under Fire 2 or Tiger Knight: Empire War. This genre is also referred to as “Siege MMOs,” or siege games.
In all these games, you lead an army into battle like in the “Total War” series known in the West, but you can also intervene and participate.
War Rage is considered hyper-realistic. Following the latest trend in China, War Rage is also expected to feature sandbox elements. It is being developed by NetEase, who also release Blizzard games in China and are behind games like Revelation Online.
Slowly but surely, War Rage is taking shape. Development is progressing. It will enter beta in China on February 18. Here, the weather effects are also expected to be noticeable for the first time.
Here in the West, it is said that one should not expect a release before 2018.
