Coming from NetEase, Extraordinary Ones is an upcoming MOBA game for mobile that’s set to hit Google Play and the App Store later this month on the 15th of January. We have reported on this one back in December 2019 when it became open for pre-registration, and so far it has already amassed more than 100,000 pre-registrations, which is pretty impressive for a mobile MOBA. Check out the game’s trailer below:
Extraordinary Ones takes place in the fictional city of Esper, where humans, monsters, and other supernatural beings live together in relative harmony. The city also houses a grand academy, which is where students come to train to become masters of the art of tactical combat.
Two different groups are working hard to prove that they are the best fighters, and you'll get to acquaint yourself with a few of these students via in-game dialogues. The academy’s ground is expansive with plenty of places to explore, such as classrooms, basketball courts, podiums, gyms, and more.
Matches are reportedly intense and fast-paced, involving two teams of 5 duking it out to see who can come out on top. At launch, the game will feature 36 unique characters to unlock and play as with new ones coming on a weekly basis. Needless to say, each hero has his/her own strengths and weaknesses. Moreover, all of these characters are apparently voiced in Japanese by an “all-star cast”.
When not battling, you can also build friendships and even romantic relationships with the characters. Doing so will unlock additional dialogues and stories.
With this title, NetEase says it’s aiming to balance long-term depth with controls and pacing friendly to the mobile platform. Extraordinary Ones is set to launch globally for both Android and iOS on January 15th and is still available for pre-registration at the moment. Naturally, if you pre-register now, you’ll get some exclusive in-game rewards when the game arrives.
