Publisher Arc Games and Stockholm-based developer Chief Rebel have announced Fellowship, what they’re hyping up as the first-ever multiplayer online dungeon adventure or “MODA.”
Fellowship is being developed for Windows PC (via Steam) by a team of veterans from games like World of Warcraft, Diablo, Helldivers, Battlefield, Tom Clancy’s The Division, Just Cause and more.
A release date for Fellowship wasn’t confirmed but a closed alpha playtest will run from August 15th through the 20th, and signups can be submitted over on its official website.
“We’re very excited to introduce Fellowship, a passion project that we’ve been working on for a long time since we formed Chief Rebel,” said Axel Lindberg, CEO and Game Director at Chief Rebel. “With Fellowship, we took inspiration from many games that we love to create a dungeon adventure that lets players jump right into the best part of MMOs and ARPGs, end-game dungeons, right from the start with ease. Fellowship will be a constantly evolving adventure and we want players of it from the very beginning, so we can’t wait for players to join us for our Closed Alpha playtest!”
Arc Games CEO Yoon Im added, “Fellowship marks the beginning of a new genre that aims to modernize the traditional MMO gameplay experience, making it a potential game changer in our industry. We are thrilled to leverage our extensive online multiplayer and MMO expertise to support Chief Rebel on this ambitious new video game. The Closed Alpha test is just the beginning for Fellowship, as we have a lot of incredible content and features to unveil as we look toward a PC launch next year.”
