Absolver is… probably not an MMORPG. But it is an “online combat RPG,” which sure sounds like an action combat MMORPG without the “massive” part (maybe?). We don’t know much else, aside from the fact that it’s emphasizing combat in both PvP and PvE and is launching on Steam in 2017 for both PCs and consoles. Oh yeah, and it’s super pretty if you’re into stylized realism.
“Absolver puts players behind the mask of a Prospect, who has taken a sacred vow and chosen to join the Absolvers, an elite corps of combatants fighting to maintain stability in the world. Monitored by the Guides, the new rulers of the fallen Adal Empire, players will wander these forsaken lands and encounter other Prospects online in order to learn their place in this world and eventually become Absolvers. Along the way, they will learn new combat styles and attacks, and acquire better weapons, powers and armor. Battles between warriors are an intense real-time flow of attacks, dodges, feints and counters, with all aspects of gameplay customizable, including combat styles, weapons and even individual attack sequences in the player’s Combat Deck. Build a team of warriors to fight side by side with you in the dungeon mines of Adal (PvE) or put your skill on display in dedicated combat arenas (PvP) scattered across the land.”
