Grimm: Dark Legacy Closed Beta Sign-Ups Open
GAMESCO announced today that prospective players can now sign up for its upcoming MMO survival game Grimm Dark Legacy's Closed Beta. An exact date for the Closed Beta has yet to be revealed, but it should be soon, as the game is scheduled to launch later this year.
With the announcement of Closed Beta sign-ups opening, new gameplay details have been revealed, as well as a first set of screenshots. The game is described as follows.
Set several hundred years before the current NBC TV series, Grimm: Dark Legacy will explore the rich back-story of the Grimms and their many foes. The game will see players traveling through the Old World meeting increasingly tougher challenges as well as teaming up with other players to survive the Wesen onslaught. The title is licensed by the NBCUniversal Brand Development Group and is currently under development by Norwegian developer Artplant, creator of the hit title Battlestar Galactica Online.
Mixing combat and survival gameplay, Grimm: Dark Legacy starts players off as inexperienced hunters with little knowledge or weapons. Over time, players must explore the different regions of the world, completing tasks and foraging for potions and raw materials so that they can grow in confidence and power, making the transformation from the hunted into the hunter. Players who gather the right combination of items can then craft bombs, traps, and weapons to help them boost their stats as well as hunt and dispatch their foes.
A core component of Grimm: Dark Legacy’s gameplay will be the comprehensive detection system that players use to track & hunt Wesen. Smells, noise, and tracks can all be detected and followed, but the tables can be turned because Wesen use the same system to hunt and kill players. Grimm Hunters will need to employ their skills of detection and evasion to search for Wesen signs while masking their own, helping them gain the upper hand.
Additionally, as you can see in the screenshot above, the game will be presented in an isometric view.
You can sign up for the Closed Beta on the official website.
