The new Action RPG from Pearl abyss, inspired by Pokémon or Yo-kai Watch, announced that it would no longer be an MMO, but the study has confirmed that it will have a multiplayer part.
DokeV was released a few years ago and was originally going to be an MMO, something that has changed during development. The title will be an RPG for one player, but don’t worry: it will have multiplayer elements to enjoy with friends. Now, the study has confirmed this content and has given the first details than we can expect.
Speaking to IGN, Pearl Abyss has talked more about the transition from multiplayer to single player. “We concluded that turning it into an open-world action-adventure game allows us to better express our vision of the game. We are now moving in the direction of enjoying diverse gameplay in the vast open world, “said Sangyoung Kim, producer of the game.
Many players were saddened by the change, but there will be a way to play with friends. DokeV will include “collaborative multiplayer elements to work with other players “, such as fighting powerful monsters in a group. It remains to be seen if we can move freely around the stage with our companions or will they be isolated battles as missions.
“Of course, there will be PvP in the game. We are developing these competitive elements with the idea of a friendly competition, which promote good sportsmanship, “explained Kim. The developer has assured that they will give more information about it in the future. The game does not have a release date, but it places its launch window in 2022, although may be delayed.
