Square-Enix to Announce New MMORPG at NY Comic-Con

Posted on Tuesday 5th October 2010 at 20:42 by Quad
Squenix, partnered with a French game company called Ankama, is coming out with a new Tactical Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game called "Wakfu". It's free to play, and appears to be a sequel to Ankama's previous MMO, called Dofus. Wakfu takes place one thousand years after Dofus, and there will no doubt be all sorts of throwbacks to Dofus in-game in Wakfu, but as it's an MMO it's doubtful one will need to have played Dofus to enjoy Wakfu. An overview of the Dofus story can also be found at its wiki below, if anyone wants to read up on the history before they delve into Wakfu. Also, anyone who's interested can register for the beta at their website.

Squenix will be at the New York Comic Con on October 8-10 to announce their game, along with demos and giveaways like t-shirts, posters, and the like. The game itself has interesting characters like "warrior gamblers", "plant summoners", and "protectors" (of animals), as well as time-tested characters like archers, beserkers, regular warriors, and the like.

Finally, anyone who wants to take a look at the game but won't be at the Con can go to Wakfu's site, as they have screencaps, videos, and, if you're really excited about it, wallpapers. The release date is still TBA, though it's likely sometime in 2011.

That seems pretty likely to me, or it could be ad-supported to some degree, or it could be something they've already decided will be an acceptable loss for the company, or it could be all of the above.

finalalias Hey it's finally coming out eh? I loved Dofus. If it's anything like it's predecessor, it'll be a great fresh take on mmo gaming. Definitely not one of your run-o-the-mill types. Moreover, the artistry and animation were a lot of fun, not to mention the many bits of humor scattered throughout the texts, so I've got high expectations for this one.

erod005 Hi !
I have access to the beta closed of wakfu v2 ( i'm french ).
For the future payment, it will be like dofus, there is a free zone ( exple level 1 to 50 ), and if you will pay about 5 euros/month, you will have access to the full game ( level 1 to 200 ).

Wakfu haven't the same gameplay as dofus even if they have both the same class, have a look at the www.wakfu.com/na !

Ankama said the game will be finish in april 2011.
