A new free-to-play MMORPG named Tarisland was unveiled by local developers working under Tencent’s guidance. It soon became clear that Tencent had been developing this project for a period of three years, and that it is now almost finished. This summer, a beta test was held for anybody who wanted to play the new game. Tarisland is anticipated to be released this year, while the precise date is yet uncertain. There are numerous compelling reasons why a new product has a strong chance of being a major hit, and we shall discuss it in more detail below.
Demand for the game
There is already a huge demand for the game – both on the website of the developers and on boosting sites. Players already want to buy gold, order tarisland leveling service, dungeons and raids carries, and so on. This suggests that the gaming community has long been interested in a new name among MMORPG veterans.
PC is the main platform, but not the only one
Tarisland will be available not only on personal computers but also on mobile devices running iOS and Android. The release for all three platforms will take place simultaneously. At the same time, the developers immediately honestly say that due to a more convenient interface and a potential variety of settings, the PC version will be slightly different for the better. On the one hand, Tencent is not trying to pretend that you can play a complex MMORPG with the same success from a smartphone as you can in front of a large monitor using a keyboard and mouse. In addition, since Tarisland was originally designed for cross-platform play, there is little hope for the release of console versions, which will further expand its audience and attract those who fundamentally do not want to play on PC.
Many dungeons and their difficulty levels
The amount of destinations, cities, and dungeons that Tarisland will feature when it launches has not yet been disclosed by Tencent. A month following the game’s debut, the first significant seasonal update will be released, according to the creators.
Every 4-6 months, the creators said they will provide significant upgrades. It is intended to introduce two mini-raids for ten players and at least four more dungeons for a team of five heroes throughout such seasons. There are heroic and standard difficulty levels for these mini-raids. Dungeons for five people have an even more intriguing alignment since a third, legendary format with a variety of variables was created just for them, making the passage more challenging and entertaining. However, it is not yet clear whether the modifiers will be permanent (which is logical for an MMORPG with ratings of the best guilds and characters) or randomly generated from several options (which would make the dungeons even more fun). Raids for 20 and 40 players are also planned by the developers, but they are not yet ready to name the timing of the appearance of such content.
Different and distinctive classes of heroes
According to the developers of Tarisland, they have studied the preferences of gamers well, but when adding certain classes of heroes to their MMORPG, they will also take into account their relevance in the setting and plot of the game. For example, the druids beloved by many should not be expected, since this original fantasy world is arranged in such a way that it does not provide for their appearance even in any foreseeable future. Although the authors of the game do not refuse to use the forces of nature by certain characters.
The same story with Summoners – they are also in the long-term plans. Such an approach can be called both ambiguous and controversial, and bold – in order to create a truly original MMORPG, you need to make difficult decisions and not follow the tastes of fans of the genre in everything.
We would like to believe that in many other aspects, Tencent developers will also show appropriate courage and independence. The main thing is not to overdo it, and therefore there are enough familiar classes in Tarisland: there is a ranger, paladin, bard, warrior, priest, barbarian, and magician, and each has a couple of specializations. About all classes, gamers can read on Tarisland’s official site, where guides are published. Some may say that the set is not original enough. But is it worth doing too many classes at the very beginning for no reason?
Nice modern graphics
MMORPGs rarely boast advanced graphics, and even cross-platform ones, even more so, because these games need to be made available not only on the most expensive and productive but also on budget devices. However, Tarisland looks good even by the standards of 2023 – all the characters and their animations are perfectly readable, what is happening on the battlefield is clearly distinguishable, and the cities, heroes, and bosses in general are simply beautiful to look at – they are drawn and modeled ingeniously and with obvious diligence. Teleportation between locations is not provided – the heroes will travel through them, and the player will be able to feel the atmosphere of this universe.
Tarisland looks like a much-anticipated and highly valued successor to WoW. If the plot and gameplay do not disappoint, then many MMORPG fans will be happy to move from the same World of Warcraft to a much more modern and beautiful analog.
