First of all, we will talk about Courage and greed. Rekka Games and Team17’s dungeon co-op brawler recently released on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4 and Xbox One (affiliate link).

In the world of MMOs, NCSOFT has announced a new third person shooter called LLL project. It seems like an interesting game as it will feature a post-apocalyptic South Korea, a 10th century Byzantine Empire, and a 23rd century future that coexist in a single timeline. In addition, you will be able to pilot robots, cars, helicopters and more. LLL project will be released on PC and consoles in 2024.

Project LLL will feature a vast open world where more than 30 km of the earth’s surface is seamlessly connected to a single environment offering players procedurally created compelling content that reacts appropriately to the player’s situation instead of repeatedly playing pre-set content.

Project Manager Seeder Jaehyun Bae She said:

I personally referred to the novels Foundation and Dune. As for the subject matter of the game, I was influenced by Philip K. Dick’s novels. I tried to develop the story with themes of technology, human justice and alternate history as shown in Blade Runner, Total Recall, The Man in the High Castle, etc.

I think gamers these days are more interested in how a game actually works than cinematic animations. Since this was the first reveal, I wanted to showcase the game itself without any hype or polish. There will be other opportunities for us to share the development process like this. This is only the first step in our communication.
