Adrenaline-fueled action RPG Vindictus: Defying Fate revealed for PC and consoles
Nexon has unveiled a new action RPG that "takes place in the same realm of 2010 MMORPG Vindictus" called Vindictus: Defying Fate. It is an entirely new game built from the ground-up with Unreal Engine that is set to release on PC (Steam) and consoles, though the specific consoles haven't been detailed yet. A one week pre-alpha test on PC will be coming for the upcoming title on March 13.
A Q&A on Steam answers many questions surrounding the nature of this title. Vindictus: Defying Fate is primarily a single player game, though the development team plans to add a multiplayer mode in its full release. It is not an open world game and will split its fields up via zones. The developers even addressed whether Vindictus: Defying Fate will be a Soulslike game and they've describe the game's fast-paced combat style as a key aspect that differs from classifying it as other Soulslike titles.
Another important detail in the Q&A is that Nexon has not decided if Vindictus: Defying Fate will be a free-to-play or priced game yet.
Other details addressed are how Vindictus: Defying Fate's "heavier and restrained" battle system make it intrinsicially different from Vindictus and that attack speed, for instance, isn't a stat in Vindictus: Defying Fate.
Most importantly for existing Vindictus players, Vindictus: Defying Fate does not mean that Nexon is ending the service of the original Vindictus title. It is meant to exist alongside it.
