Publisher Kakao Games and developer XLGames continue to share previews of their highly anticipated action MMORPG, ArcheAge Chronicles. This time, they unveiled a brief controller-gameplay clip that offers a first look at the game’s combat mechanics.
The footage showcases fast-paced, fluid combat where the protagonist wields an axe to take on multiple enemies, featuring heavy reliance on dodge mechanics. Beyond the flow of the action, the clip also revealed interesting details about the heads-up display (HUD).
Among the visible UI elements is a top compass marking points of interest, alongside on-screen shortcuts to use potions, open the map, and summon mounts or the classic glider. Everything suggests these panel layouts will be customizable to fit each player’s preference.
The initial testing phases for ArcheAge Chronicles are set to begin this June, with an official release planned for PC and consoles later this year.
