HGI Games has three new MMORPGs on the way: Immortals, Ultimate Basketball Open and Origins. Garrett Fuller found out what they are up to.
| HGI Games is a company coming out of Singapore that will be releasing three MMOs. Two of which are expected in to enter Beta within the next year and the third on the way. Each MMO has a very different flavor with different themes. The company has operators set up in several different cities in China to run the games once they are released. The operators also will handle the community, marketing, and business. The market expansion planned begins in China, with Taiwan and Hong Kong next.
The first game on the list is Immortals which will be going into open beta in June. The game follows ancient Chinese mythology and builds a world where Demons, Gods, Humans, and Dragons battle for eternal life. The plains of Earth, Heaven, Hell, and the Sea serve as a backdrop to each race. The world will be seemless from realm to realm. However, players from each race will have a small advantage in their home zone. Gods will be stronger in heaven yet weaker in hell. The game will feature a numerical leveling system. It also has a strong back story based deeply in pre-history Chinese myths. Characters like the Monkey God, the Heavenly Generals, and the Horse and Cow face of hell appear throughout the game as bosses. The game combines martial arts and fighting across the races. It will also feature an in depth mount system where your mount grows and becomes stronger as you level. Look for Immortals to come out soon in China. |
