8/02/2024Fellowship: A New Co-Op Multiplayer Game Revolutionizing MMO Dungeon Runs
Arc Games has unveiled an exciting new co-op multiplayer game, Fellowship, developed by the newly established studio Chief Rebel. This team comprises industry veterans who have worked on renowned titles like World of Warcraft, Diablo, Helldivers, Battlefield, The Division, and Just Cause. Fellowship is described as a ‘MODA’ (Multiplayer Online Dungeon Adventure), focusing on MMO-like dungeon runs while eliminating the usual in-between content.
A Passion Project from Industry Veterans
Axel Lindberg, CEO and Game Director at Chief Rebel, expressed his enthusiasm for Fellowship, stating:
“We’re very excited to introduce Fellowship, a passion project that we’ve been working on for a long time since we formed Chief Rebel. With Fellowship, we took inspiration from many games that we love to create a dungeon adventure that lets players jump right into the best part of MMOs and ARPGs, end-game dungeons, right from the start with ease. Fellowship will be a constantly evolving adventure and we want players of it from the very beginning, so we can’t wait for players to join us for our Closed Alpha playtest!”
Modernizing Traditional MMO Gameplay
Yoon Im, CEO of Arc Games, highlighted the innovative nature of Fellowship:
“Fellowship marks the beginning of a new genre that aims to modernize the traditional MMO gameplay experience, making it a potential game changer in our industry. We are thrilled to leverage our extensive online multiplayer and MMO expertise to support Chief Rebel on this ambitious new video game. The Closed Alpha test is just the beginning for Fellowship, as we have a lot of incredible content and features to unveil as we look toward a PC launch next year.”
Key Features of Fellowship
- Holy Trinity Roles: Players can choose from established heroes, including two Tanks, two DPS, and two Healers.
- Endlessly Scaling Dungeon Runs: Unlike regular MMOs, Fellowship offers endlessly scaling dungeon runs.
- Adventure and Ranked Modes: Adventure mode offers a bite-sized experience lasting 10 to 15 minutes, while Ranked mode features 30-minute runs with competitive leaderboards.
Join the Closed Alpha Playtest
The Closed Alpha playtest is scheduled from August 15 to 21, allowing players to choose from six heroes and experience the game’s unique features. Interested players can register on the official website.
Fellowship promises to be a groundbreaking addition to the MMO genre, offering a streamlined and engaging dungeon-running experience from the get-go. Stay tuned for more updates as the game approaches its PC launch next year.
