On March 18, 2022, the Ark of Tomorrow (hereinafter referred to as the End) was officially announced, and Eagle Horn released the game's concept PV and real machine demonstration, which attracted the attention and discussion of netizens and players for a time. After repeatedly watching the released material, we can make some subjective guesses about the gameplay of the end from the details of it.
First, the animation in the concept CG from 0 minutes 44 seconds to 0 minutes 54 seconds shows a device similar to the exploration device launched on the ground and emitting a pulse wave, the surrounding resources similar to the source stone appear after the pulse wave is swept, and then there is a drill-like device inserted into the ground to start mining resources, so it is a bold guess that the player may first deploy the exploration device (similar to the base car in the Red Alert) when entering the new map, and can also display and collect the resources in the area while lighting up the map in the exploration area;
At 0:58 we don't know what kind of buildings we can see, we can only guess that the different room types in the infrastructure that may resemble the Ark of Tomorrow are similar.
In the lower left corner of the game menu UI in the real machine demonstration, two place names appear, and there are many pillars of light in the topographic map in the center of the screen, perhaps players can establish multiple bases in the map, and the bases are independent of each other and do not affect each other.
There are several scenes in the concept CG of Perica driving a motorcycle.
Therefore, it is boldly speculated that the player may be able to drive a motorcycle and other vehicles when moving in different locations, and of course, it may also be used as a transfer animation when moving in different locations.
There is also a helipad for helicopters in the real-machine demonstration, maybe the player can still fly the plane?
The game characters that appear in the concept CG are consistent with the standing drawings on the official website, and it is worth noting the weapons of the three characters:
Perica's sword,
Long knife with a black double ponytail,
As well as the rifle of the male character, coupled with the concept CG1 minute 05 seconds of narration "need to pay attention to possible threats", then it can be inferred that the weapons in the game are definitely not decorations, but sharp weapons used by the characters to fight, and the "existing threat" is likely to be an unknown creature on Tower Edge, which the player will encounter and fight when exploring the map. However, the way of fighting is currently unknown, it may be real-time combat, or it may be turn-based, which will have to wait for Eagle Horn to release other materials to support it.
In general, the current materials of the End are not much, eagle horn also leaves enough suspense for the player, the above content is only based on the existing content of the subjective guess, I hope to see more content related to the End this year.
