You may remember how about five years ago the “Korean Witcher” was announced, i.e. the game based on the fantasy novel “The Bird That Drinks TearsThen the developers said that they spent two years designing the main character Kagan Draco and the world in which he is, and now we receive news that the plans for that game have changed significantly.
Instead of Korean Witcher, we will get Korean Angry Birds, as the main character in the game will be inflated Rooster Hero King. Okay, that sounds completely silly, but it’s actually impressive.
This is how the work title game was presented yesterday Project Windlessan open-world action RPG with massive battles. It is still a game in the world of the mentioned Korean novel, but it was decided that it will not be based on the story of the novel itself, but as a kind of prologue / prequel. The game will be set 1500 years before the action in the novel and will show us the origin of the founder of one of the most important kingdoms from the novel. And that is a legendary warrior who belongs to the Recon race, cocked roosters.
The world in Project Windless consists of four races: humans, Rekoni, Nhaga and Tokkebi. Each race has its own culture and view of the world, and they clash with each other. Rekons are excellent fighters who lead big battles, and that’s exactly what we will do with Hero King.
The game will use Unreal Engine 5, but its special spice will be an internally developed technology called Mass. The same should enable display hundreds of characters on the screen in epic battles. And although it was announced for PC and PlayStation 5, publishing house Krafton actually avoids mentioning specific platforms, so we wouldn’t be surprised if this was actually made for the next generation PlayStation.
The game is under development by several studios. Development is led by Crafton’s branch in Canada, but they are assisted by studios from Pangyo in South Korea.
The developers note how this will be premium single-player igra without any live service elements or multiplayer.
