Former MMO and MOBA devs have unveiled a new MMO today: It’s called Tomo: Endless Blue, and it’s launching on Steam next year. It’s coming to us from studio Onibi, which boasts devs from World of Warcraft, Fortnite, and League of Legends. The press release calls the game a “voxel open-world, anime-style RPG set in a boundless ocean realm inhabited by mysterious creatures known as the Tomo,” but on Steam it’s designated as an MMO, with co-op and PvP play on top.
“When worlds end, fragments of their civilizations become islands adrift in the Endless Blue. As players embark on a journey to uncover the story of each procedurally generated island, they discover vibrant villages filled with characters and Tomo living their lives, every island and village a microcosm of a unique culture. Whether players want to battle alongside Tomo companions, build intricate vehicles and contraptions out of blocks, or live a cozy life with their friends, the world of the Endless Blue is theirs to discover.”
The pitch focuses on the critters (i.e., the Tomo) and their totally not-Pokemon elemental powers, the proc-gen world building, voxel physics, “terrain-based live combat,” and a whole slew of lifeskilling, cozy sandbox content. Farming, crafting, cooking, and vehicle construction are all mentioned.
And as for the multiplayer? Well, it can scale up to an MMO, but it can scale down, too. “The game supports offline single-player gameplay, local network multiplayer and distant server play,” the devs say. “There’s no limit on the number of players – it’s as many as the player’s device or server can support.”
Finally, the Steam page mentions modding: “We’ve kept it all open, so go ahead and break the game. If your dream is to replace all Tomo creatures with handsome pigeons playing illegal poker hands, then so be it. The world is your oyster!”
Well, then, maybe all the folks sad about Blue Protocol have something new to look forward to. See you in 2026 for the Tomo FOMO.
