The visual quality of mobile games has seen massive improvements in recent years. More and more mobile games are getting graphics comparable to that of console games: Black Desert Mobile, Hundred Soul, Blade and Soul: Revolution, just to name a few. Now, if you love the high-quality graphics of these games, then you should definitely keep an eye out for Tencent’s upcoming RPG Project E. Developed using Unreal Engine 4, this game is described as “Tencent’s 2019 flagship RPG title.” Now, to get an idea of just how gorgeous Project E is, check out the trailer below:
The game was in its first alpha test last month, so let’s watch some more footage to see what it has to offer in term of gameplay:
The alpha version only has 2 available classes: the melee class with swords, and the ranged class with guns. It seems like you will have a lot of options to customize the appearance of your character: From gender to outfits to hairstyles and hair color etc. Furthermore, a player who tested the game stated that there will be several dialogue options that will define the personalities of your characters later on.
However, the thing that most people notice Project E for is its gorgeous visuals. There are also various weather effects, from sunny to rain and snow. Additionally, there is a picture mode that allows players to switch between different times of day and weather, as well as choose a posture for the character, in order to set up the perfect photo shot.
The gameplay seems to be pretty standard for a mobile RPG. You move your character around using a virtual joystick on the left side of the screen, while on the right are several buttons for attacking and abilities. The available footage above shows the character exploring different environments, running on cliffs and walls, and diving underwater. It seems players will be able to interact with the surroundings in many ways as well, such as feeding dogs, sitting on chairs or playing guitar.
Project E is currently still in its development stage, so what we have seen so far is not the final product. Hopefully, more information will be available in the future.
