Dynamight Studios, the team behind Fractured, are set to enter the Kickstarter MMO world at the beginning of June. Fractured is being pitted as an open-world sandbox MMORPG mixing action combat with fully interactive environments, appealing equally to lovers of competitive and cooperative gameplay. As a result of the impending Kickstarter launch, Dynamight Studios have released the conceptual Kickstarter packages for Fractured to their community for some preliminary discussion.
As with many gaming Kickstarter campaigns, the availability and array of packages is quite vast. Fractured is no different in this regard starting off with the typical “Hey, give us your 5€ and we’ll give you basically nothing” package, moving all the way up to the 10,000€ “You want to be King of your own planet? Ok” package. Note that all prices referenced are in Euro.
With hype slowly building around a very, very early title we are curious to see just how well the Kickstarter campaign pans out for a relatively new studio dipping their toes into the MMO genre. Attempting to break into the open-world sandbox MMORPG genre simply adds a few more layers of complexity to the entire ordeal.
While alpha is slated for later this year, you can check out some recent in game footage showing off the SpatialOS system and some basic gameplay from the April 20th gameplay video.
Do you currently play any open-world sandbox MMORPGs? Are you a fan of an open-world sandbox MMORPG that has long since passed? Let us know in the comments below if you think Fractured will satiate your hunger, or fill that void left behind by your longing for something to replace Ultima Online. Which MMORPG was your first true love? Knowing full well nothing will ever ease the pain of nobody playing it anymore, perhaps Dynamight Studios can help.
If the open-world sandbox MMORPG scene isn’t your style, maybe the incredibly popular Battle Royal train is more your speed. Hop on over to here to check out our peak at Don’t Stand Out.
