About SoulWorker
SoulWorker is an anime-style third-person action MMORPG available for PC gameplay developed by Lion Games. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, players take on the role of a SoulWorker, who are chosen as one of humanity’s saviors. Over 100 PvE districts and episode bosses await the young heroes, and after battling through the AI and guilds, players can then face one another in the extensive PvP zone. A unique emotion system that includes vengeance, madness, euphoria, or sadness defines and powers each of the characters’ abilities. Concentrating on these emotions activates abilities that boost effects for Defense or Attacks while using class-specific Soul Weapons.
Through Steam, SoulWorker is currently only servicing English and Traditional Chinese. In Korea and Japan, it is being serviced through publishers Smilegate and WeMade respectively.
