Developer Devolver Digital has revealed their latest, very stylish, action project coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC next year. Absolver comes from indie developer Sloclap, a Parisian studio with talent taken from those who've worked on Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon and Watch Dogs, though it seems Absolver will be nothing like those titles.
The Absolver official website explains the story as thus:
Absolver puts players behind the mask of a Prospect, who has taken a sacred vow and chosen to join the Absolvers, an elite corps of combatants fighting to maintain stability in the world.
Monitored by the Guides, the new rulers of the fallen Adal Empire, players will wander these forsaken lands and encounter other Prospects online in order to learn their place in this world and eventually become Absolvers.
The trailer shows off some intense martial arts gameplay, and it looks like things'll be in both PvP and PvE, all melee focused, though I did catch someone pull out a sword in that trailer, so maybe melee weapons also confirmed? I hope so, it could quickly change the way battles are fought.
Absolver looks like an interesting, beautiful game set in a majestic world that I can't wait to get into.
