Opening up Gamescom Opening Night time Dwell right this moment was one thing referred to as Nodus Fall, a model new sport from HoYoverse that each seems to be and sounds an terrible lot just like the studio’s rendition of Elden Ring.
Nodus Fall is an unique cooperative motion sport through which you play as a “Weaver” in a world the place “divine authority has crumbled” and you should work along with others to take down “mythic beings.” From the trailer, we are able to see creatures like a dragon and a phoenix lording over the land, an enormous titan with its head on hearth, some large muscle man punching an anvil, wolves, and big environments clearly supposed to make gamers really feel actually tiny. The trailer additionally reveals off some flashy sword fight and cooperative battles with a number of gamers dealing with off towards actual large guys.
Now look, I don’t need to sit right here and speak about how a lot this seems to be like Elden Ring, however it actually does look lots like Elden Ring, particularly by way of the characters showcased and the way in which a few of its trailer pictures are put collectively. The gameplay itself seems to be like a mixture of that and Monster Hunter, and I gotta admit it seems to be cool to leap on the again of a giant man you’re preventing.
Nodus Fall is being made in Unreal Engine 5, which I solely point out as a result of it’s about the one different piece of information we now have about this sport proper now. No launch window but. We’ll replace as extra data is available in.
