Ilysia VR Early Access Trailer Shows off The Experience, and Devs Promise Future Content Reveals Soon.
VR MMORPG Ilysia has entered Early Access, and Team 21 Studio has a new trailer and some more on what is on the way.
After holding Tavern Talks streams with community Q&As, the team discussed the struggles of independent MMORPG development, especially in a VR project, as well as lessons learned along the way.

There have been several patches since, and the new trailer shows off a variety of what you can expect from the VR MMO in Early Access as the team continues development.
In the trailer, we see what exploration looks like, NPCs, traveling around town, and of course various types of combat, mobs, as well as flow of the game and different environments. From boars and rattlings roaming around in the grass to boss fights, we get a taste of what you can expect when you put on your VR headset and head into Ilysia. This includes glimpses of interacting with others, waving to a friend, fishing, gearing up, and a look at the FreeForge talent system.
