Video games developer and publisher Gravity Interactive has sent word about a new horror MMO called as Requiem: Bloodymare. The massively multiplayer online game features a world where the abuse of science and magic has distorted the natural world into a twisted vision of death.
Overview of Requiem Bloodymare MMO:
- Set in the world of Ethegia, gamers take on the role of the Temperions, beings created through genetic engineering and arcane rites to take on in bloody combat with the walking nightmares stalking the land. Using the Havok engine, Requiem: Bloodymare brings to life a visually dramatic realm where fallout from generations of scientific and mystical warfare has polluted the natural world and given birth to horribly mutated monsters. The battles between players and these grotesque creatures are rendered with intense sequences of bloody and gory graphics.
Requiem: Bloodymare also brings several game mechanics that set it apart from the rest of the MMO market. The time of day will be an extremely important factor for players under the Nightmare System with extremely powerful creatures awakening to terrorize the world at night. To defeat these challenges players will be able to draw upon the DNA System and the Beast Possession System. Players will use genetic engineering to modify their DNA to obtain characteristics and abilities nature never intended. The mystic arts will enable players to possess and transform into different bestial beings with extraordinary abilities.
Peter Kang is the chief executive officer of Gravity Interactive. He comments, “We have dedicated more than four years of intense development to be sure Requiem: Bloodymare really brings something unique in the MMO market. We very consciously decided when we started the project that we wanted to expand our offering to include much more than the cute, anime inspired gameplay of our previous hits. Requiem is not a game for kids; this is for mature players that are looking for hardcore content that invokes up their deepest nightmares and fears.”
Requiem: Bloodymare is expected to release in the United States in early 2008. There have been many massively multiplayer online games that have been introduced but very few belong to the horror genre. Gamers who love to play such games would be happy to see a game like Requiem: Bloodymare.
