MMORPG Fury Coming 2007

by Ingrid on February 20th, 2007

After two years of development, the long-anticipated Australian MMORPG, Fury, finally has a tentative release date in North America. Auran Games recently signed the publishing rights to Gamecock Media Group, and announced a release date of Q4 2007.

Here’s a nice little promo for Fury.

The graphics look pretty wicked, and its focus on PvP makes it pretty intriguing.

Avatars advance and become more powerful by completing trials to recover ancient memories. Trials focus on PvP challenges. This means players can advance their avatar by playing the way they enjoy the most, not by grinding.

Trials are akin to quests in a traditional PvE game. To complete a trial, the player must use a specific set of abilities in the most efficient and effective manner possible. Completing a trial unlocks a lost memory from one of their previous incarnations, unleashing new and more powerful abilities. Additionally, an avatar’s overall rank is determined by the number of unlocked memories.

Players are free to focus their avatar down a specialized path such as “Death Magic” or take a more balanced approach and complete trials from multiple schools and paths. This means players are not restricted to a strict class template set by the game designers.

Anyone have high hopes for this game? I must admit it seems promising.

Unique Combat
Fury is founded upon a unique combat system that emphasizes fast pacing, meaningful decision making and strong team tactics. Fury’s combat blends the best elements of the FPS and RPG genres. Gameplay is further enhanced by an innovative system of Elemental Energy that ensures more dynamic gameplay.

Like an RPG, players have an interest in choosing the right ability to use at the right time; like an FPS, the battle and players are in constant motion. This creates a fast and exciting pace without the need for twitch skills.

Maybe Matt at FPS Rantings can finally find an MMO that challenges him. ;)

Anyone have high hopes for this game?
