How It Works

Furthermore, each participant chooses a giant creature—huge beasts that can change the battle—as a game-changer, though unified tactics possess the real strength. Characters can also soar around in the play area, introducing a mobility feature rare in the category.

We aimed to create a fresh type of player journey that combines real-time play and planning, while investigating collaborative storytelling. It has been an exploration of innovative thoughts, a chance to venture into community-focused gaming, and an adventure undertaken by a skilled group of experts within our studios in Paris and Montreal who created this unique world.

Story Elements

Although particulars remain vague, the concept of a cooperative world-building is compelling, with the game director calling it a "dynamic, player-influenced environment." Reportedly, this title will contain both a "main cycle"—online fights—and a "broader story," which forms the shared narrative experience.

The studio acknowledges that this new project might surprise fans, with executives stating, "This new title may astonish our followers as it is significantly altered from what we have done in the past. But embracing challenges, challenging ourselves, exploring new ways of interactivity and plot, and attempting for what looks out of reach has consistently been part of our identity."

A exclusive trial for the game is planned to begin on computers by the year's conclusion, and interested players can apply through the dedicated portal.
