Senior game developers who have been in the industry for many years are always more trusted by players. Because experience always helps them to produce a work that is more popular with everyone. In 2022, Theorycraft Games announced its new work in development, Project Loki, and everyone's expectations were instantly raised.
Without him, because Theorycraft Games' lineup is too luxurious. Most of the employees are veterans of well-known large factories such as Blizzard, Riot, and Bayside. They are very confident in this new work called "Project Loki". During the development process, we always adhered to the belief that it would become the next "10,000 hours" (long-running hit) game.
Project Loki is a PVP game that combines a variety of gameplay elements, including MOBA elements, a battle royale framework, and hero shooting. Each round supports up to 4 players per group, with a total of 12 teams competing against each other, which also covers a variety of different modes. In terms of the richness of the content, it is quite worth looking forward to.
After two years in development, Theorycraft Games has brought the latest news about Project Loki. Now that Project Loki has officially moved from pre-alpha to alpha testing, the quality of the game has been further improved.
This morning Theorycraft Games announced a new publishing partnership that will see them partner with Nexon and NetEase Games to launch the upcoming Project Loki. The addition of these two powerful allies will also bring more impetus to the development of the game.
It is reported that the multi-year agreement between the three parties will put Nexon in charge of business in Japan and South Korea, and NetEase will publish the game in China. Theorycraft will continue to be released in other regions, and Project Loki is expected to be released to the world sometime next year.
As for the partnership with NetEase and Nexon, Michael Chiang, Head of Asia and Global Corporate Development at Theorycraft Games, said in a statement:
"We are delighted that these two industry giants believe in Project Loki. Like us, we know that both Nexon and NetEase love engaging, community-focused games, as we've already seen in their own games like MapleStory (Nexon) and Naraka: Bladepoint (NetEase). We couldn't have asked for a better partner to bring Project Rocky to gamers in Asia. ”
At this stage, NetEase Games is still secretive about this new work of "Project Loki". However, a suspenseful official website with a domain name of ProjectLK.163.com has recently attracted the attention of players. Given that the website is very similar to the brand tone shown in "Project Loki", some people speculate that the official website of the mysterious concept is "Project Loki" published by NetEase.
Development for Project Loki is getting better, with 15w players signing up for playtesting and more than 50 unique playtests running across North America and Europe. The team, which currently only has 60 people, has raised a budget of $87.5 million because of the blessing of many industry veterans and easier to attract sponsorship.
Of course, players will have to be patient to get a glimpse of Project Loki in its entirety. In the future, we also look forward to this new game developed by many senior gamers in the industry to bring more surprises to players.
