Bellatores: A new MMORPG experience
Are you ready for a brand new open-world sandbox MMORPG set in a medieval fantasy world? Then you should definitely keep an eye on Bellatores. Originally scheduled for release in 2022, the game was delayed to the second half of 2024 due to a switch to the Unreal Engine 5. Despite this disappointment for MMO fans, there have been new updates on the game in recent weeks.
Large-scale PvP battles and classic MMO elements
The focus of Bellatores is mainly on large-scale PvP battles for the conquest of territories. However, classic MMO elements such as crafting, gathering, and a player-driven economy are also integrated. The game offers five selectable factions to choose from during character creation. Apparently, there is a deep political system where players can elect officials and vote on certain policies. It seems that factions can rent out certain zones to guilds, allowing them to temporarily gain possession - possibly for resource gathering or progress development.
Main PvE Content: Huge Monsters and Natural Disasters
Recently, the main PvE content of the game was revealed to be huge monsters that appear in the game and cause natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons, as well as destroying villages and fortress walls. After players defeat these big bosses, the world returns to normal. However, multiple of these monsters can appear at any time and continue to cause chaos.
Flexible Combat Methods without Classes or Levels
Unlike many modern MMOs, Bellatores does not have classes or levels. Instead, players can use all weapons, armor, abilities, and skills to customize their combat experience. Mastery of these combat methods improves as a player uses specific weapons or abilities. Similarly, mastery in crafting professions increases as a player creates specific items.
Development and Release of Bellatores
Bellatores, originally announced as "Project N-1," has been in development since mid-2017 and is set to be released exclusively for PC in Unreal Engine 5. The release is planned for the second half of 2024. Although the developers are initially focused on the PC, there are also plans to bring the game to consoles later on.
Conclusion: A Promising New MMORPG
All in all, Bellatores sounds like a promising new MMORPG that stands out from the crowd. With its focus on large-scale PvP battles, classic MMO elements, and flexible combat methods, it offers an experience that should be interesting for both fans of the genre and newcomers. We look forward to learning more about the game and hope that development continues to progress well! Stay tuned for more news and updates on Bellatores on Keyfuchs!
