NetEase and studio Bare Naked, in a major revelation today, unveiled the long-awaited title and trailer for their highly anticipated traversal-based game, previously known by the codename Challenge Mugen. It’s now known as .
NetEase claims that Nova Metropolis has succumbed to chaos, with a medley of eerie paranormal events, unexpectedly speeding bathrooms, and bewildered visitors roaming the streets, promising a unique blend of humour, adventure, and suspense. Gaming enthusiasts will be captivated by an array of attention-grabbing characters as they leap into pulse-pounding battles, conquer daunting challenges, and safeguard the world from catastrophic threats while discovering their true identity in the vast, open-world expanse of Nova Metropolis.
Here’s a game that’s all about multiplayer, but it’s not your typical massively multiplayer online RPG – we’re covering it right here on MassivelyOP, so you can bet it has multiplayer elements, and indeed it does! The game is predominantly single-player, but also offers four-player co-op, with the developers hoping players can enjoy the experience online with friends – although this information appears to be lacking from official sources, so file it under simply “multiplayer” for now.
The studio is exploring innovative concepts, including an “immersive urban experience” characterized by a “vibrant cityscape replete with options and autonomy,” fast-paced gameplay akin to “a high-octane kung fu film,” and engaging non-combat activities such as “casual weekend excursions” and “forming meaningful connections.”
Observe that this free-to-play game requires preregistration, which can be accessed on its official website. There is no specific launch window, but the company assures that aspiring brokers will not have to wait long to experience Nova City firsthand.
