Ashes Of Creation Shows Off Tidesnapper Mount, New Cinematic Trailer

Ashes of Creation just recently passed the 9500 backer milestone, which means that it's time for Intrepid Studios to show off what backers will unlock if they reach the 11,000 backer milestone. At 11,000 backers, backers will unlock an eight-finned, turtle-like underwater mount called the "Tidesnapper," which can be seen in the image embedded below. And...that's all we know about the Tidesnapper. You want a turtle-like mount that can help you swim underwater, right?

Intrepid Studios also unveiled a new cinematic trailer called "The Art of War," which shows off the Predator class. In it, a character sneaks into a metropolis and "[secures] a relic before a siege." The trailer shows the Predator class using a spyglass, wielding a bow, scaling walls, turning invisible, and firing a special type of arrow that works as a flare to signal that the siege should begin.

It's a nice enough trailer, but it is entirely cinematic, and thus, not representative of what gameplay will actually end up looking like. Amusingly, it is even labeled as "Pre-Alpha Footage," which I don't personally feel was necessary for a cinematic trailer that implicitly doesn't represent actual gameplay anyways.

You can find the trailer embedded below. Ashes of Creation currently has 21 days left on Kickstarter, having raised 228% of its funding goal as of this writing.
