Guild Wars publisher announces first real-time strategy game, Project G
NCSoft, the Korean publisher of Guild Wars, has announced its first real-time strategy game named Project G.
The game will be released globally across PC and mobile.
The announcement joins the debut trailer, below, featuring in-game gameplay built on Unreal Engine.
Set in the world of Pangea, players must develop their land by constructing buildings and gathering residents, before venturing out with an army to defeat enemies and monsters — including giant dragons that rain flames upon buildings.
Pangea is a bright fantasy world and will feature multiple races. Players will need to make tactical decisions based on those dragons and 'Strategic Arms' as they complete objective and territory conquest wars.
