Ascent: Infinite Realm's site also lists the character classes that the game will offer: Sorceress, mystic, warlord, assassin, and gunslinger. They appear to fit into traditional RPG archetypes of mage, healer, warrior, thief/rogue, and hunter/marksman, respectively. Given how unconventional the rest of the game seems to be, it's a bit surprising to see rather conventional options in the character creation department. Perhaps the future reveal of subclasses (each class will have two of them) will deepen and diversify gameplay opti

Pubg Missions , a game that still technically hasn't released, has broken several records on Steam . Most recently, PUBG broke Dota 2's record for the most concurrent players for a single game on Steam at 1,348,374. However, it has not reached consoles and is not planning to until it releases on Xbox One later this year. Fortnite: Battle Royale releasing in less than a week means that is the only game of this style (outside of a new mode in GTA Online ) for those without a

When it comes to the breakout hits of 2017, few have risen to the level of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , and now players of the wildly popular shooter now have their best glimpse yet of the game's highly-anticipated new desert

Bluehole, the developer behind PC-gaming sensation PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ( PUBG ), has launched the site for its upcoming MMORPG title, **Ascent: Infinite Realm ** . The studio has set high expectations for itself with the runaway success of PUBG, which has consistently been among Twitch's most-streamed and most-watched games since its early-access release last Ma

Specifically, the studio explained that "we wanted to go the opposite direction of having lush fields and forests" from the original map, and instead turned to making Miramar into a "harsh and unforgiving desert." The studio also explained that when it comes to the approach for players this time around, "old strategies may no longer work and new tactics are required" when it comes to surviving the Battle Roy

Bluehole seems to have an especially broad demographic in mind with Ascent: Infinite Realm . The trailer practically shouts that there's something here for everyone: Dragons to hunt, flying aircrafts to pilot (and destroy), properties and communities to build, and more. It'll be up to Bluehole, though, to ensure that it doesn't spread itself too thin; that each element is sufficiently fleshed-out to warrant the repeated revisiting that maintains successful online games. Lightning struck once with PUBG — it remains to be seen whether it'll strike ag

Now, in an interview with PCGamer, Kim and his translator Sammie Kang have stepped forward to further explain the comments many people viewed as unfair. Kim offered the clarification that the Fornite / PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds situation "is not about the Battle Royale mode itself," and that Bluehole "never raised an issue" with other modes of similar kind. According to Kim, it's entirely "about Epic Games," which wasn't really clear in the original press rele

"Before we actually looked deeper into how similar [ Fortnite 's Battle Royale ] is, we wanted to raise an issue because this is from Epic Games. We could be the biggest indie success story that they have and there will be other indie developers that aspire to succeed like us using Unreal Engine, and they would be concerned, right? So we just wanted to raise an issue and let people know that it can be a probl

What many gaming fans disagreed with in the original statement was the implication that Bluehole had some type of ownership over battle royale or last man standing game modes. Kim made it clear that the developer isn't in any way claiming that. "It's not for us to even comment," he said. Kim then reiterated that the focus of Bluehole's apparent frustration is Epic Games, who specifically mentioned PUBG in its marketing materials for the new gameplay m

Since Fortnite: Battle Royale doesn't require any money up front, it immediately brings up some concern over whether or not it will be "pay to win." However, Epic Games has confirmed that there will be no microtransactions that allow players to buy better guns than their opponents. As detailed in a blog post on Epic's official website, paid items are planned to be "cosmetics or compendium-like content." Also, those who purchased Fortnite between September 12-19 are eligible to receive a refund, since Battle Royale was originally announced as part of the main g

Over on the game's official Steam Community page, developer PUBG Corps has revealed new details on the desert map for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , which is officially called "Miramar." Compared to the game's original map (which took place on an Eastern European island), Miramar will take players into a more secluded desert region that looks like it will play drastically differ
