We recently saw the name of NCsoft make the rounds of the networks following the rumor of a potential MMO Horizon developed in partnership between Sony and the Korean company, but the latter presents us today with an in-house project based on a brand new license, with great ambitions. Project LLL may not have a definitive name yet, but it has 9 minutes of gameplay to show us.
The Division in science fiction sauce?
Project LLL is therefore described as an MMO, a third-person shooter, but also an open world. The latter will be spread over nearly 30 km² to explore, and will be built using theUnreal Engine 5.
The game universe will be very sci-fi oriented, with an event that will turn the fate of the world upside down. The periods of the past will mingle with those of the present and the future, with the 10th century Byzantine Empire that will be mixed with the 23rd century and a devastated city of Seoul. A hell of a melting pot that will vary the biomes while the developers cite influences like Dunes, Foundationor The Man in the High Castleworks which made it possible to build the universe and the scenario of LLL.
Seeder Jaehyun Baewho is at the head of this project, declares that he wants to move away from the current shooter on the market (understand the Battle Royale) with this LLL :
” We want to create a new niche exclusive to NC with a new license that incorporates the keywords “shooter”, “MMO” and “open world”. We’re developing a project that combines different playstyles and elements from previous NC games, and we’re excited to share a preview of it with our community. »
Even if the game will have an MMO tendency, it will make us embody predefined characters. As for the gameplay, we can get an idea with a first video above.
Project LLL now aiming for 2024and although the exact platforms have not been announced, we already know that it will be released on PC and on some consoles.
