Pearl Abyss has released the DokeV debut gameplay trailer alongside confirming the game is no longer an MMO, it’s now an “open-world action-adventure” game.
The 2019-announced game was re-revealed this week at Gamescom 2021, where we’ve learned the multiplayer component may have been dropped entirely to focus purely on its action-adventure gameplay.
“DokeV was initially introduced as an MMO, but we decided to move the game in a different direction and it’s now a creature-collecting open world action-adventure,” developer Pearl Abyss announced over on Twitter. “But regardless of genre, we’re going for fun, vibrant, and adventurous!”
The Pokemon-inspired game has been watched closely since its reveal a couple years ago, but it seemingly won’t be released until 2023 at the earliest. The game is still definitely coming to PC, alongside a general “consoles” release.
