Furthermore, the developer says, "branching quests and alternate endings guarantee that no playthrough will be exactly alike."

Distance from your opponent will factor heavily into combat, with a fog-of-war system complementing that and requiring careful strategy. PvP battles will be available in addition to the PvE core, and you can expect the usual MMO staples like fleshed-out towns, guilds, farms, instanced dungeons, and more. “Corepunk represents a synthesis of our favorite settings and themes from science fiction,” says Corepunk producer Eugene Kiver. “Over the course of five years, we’ve expanded our team to over 100 people to ensure our vision of the ultimate futuristic fantasy comes to life.
