Microids signed an agreement with Olydri Games to co-publish Noob: The Factionless, a new turn-based RPG.
Noob: The Factionless is in development for Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. A release is planned for 2023, and there’s plans for physical and collector’s editions.
The game was originally released via early access for PC back in January 2021, and only in French. The full release will have several languages available for various countries.
Here’s a rundown on the game:
Noob – Les Sans-Factions is a turn-based RPG set in the universe of Noob, the French transmedia license created by Fabien Fournier and Anne-Laure Jarnet in 2008, recounting the epic adventures and comics of a guild of new players in a fictional MMORPG called Horizon, whose adventures have already conquered many spectators and readers.
“Noob – The Sans-Factions” tells the story of four beginner players, forming the Rush guild, made up of: the neogician Baster dreaming of following in the footsteps of the famous Noob guild and of becoming a professional player despite his low level, of Drek, son best friend and berserker blunderer, the ambitious and sometimes arrogant May, playing the fortune-teller, and finally Logs, a dreamy and naive elementalist, passionate about cooking.
The four of them hope to reach level 100 quickly and unlock their Legendary Class to join the elite Horizon players. Their wish is that the Rush guild becomes one of the largest guilds in the game alongside the Noob, Justice, Roxxor and Pro Game Master guilds.
In addition to the challenges encountered in their video game, they must complete quests in real life.
