We admire how Craig Morrison’s Horse Thriller MMO sounds a bit like a psychedelic prog rock group, however it’s not; it’s the elevator pitch for a brand new MMORPG being developed by Morrison’s NetEase-funded Blue Scarab studio that’s seeking to mix homicide thriller, cozy MMO gaming, and horseback using collectively.
Up till now, all we knew about was the sport’s common existence, that it’s really an MMO, and that Blue Scarab has been looking for testers.
However because of a newly launched trailer, official website, and the brand new Steam web page, we have now just a little extra info, particularly the sport’s official identify: Equinox: Homecoming. And sure, the premise nonetheless stands up even with all of its official gubbins unfold earlier than us.
“Saddle up with buddies and examine a darkish thriller, the place every path results in marvel and intrigue. A string of occasions has set the idyllic Alderwood Island on edge. Uncover the reality behind your mom’s disappearance and an area’s sudden demise. For followers of horses, homicide mysteries, and comfy exploration!”
As for the trailer, it tries to encapsulate as a lot of the title as attainable visually, with a have a look at some horseback using, a setup of the general narrative, and a few obscure tastes of horror and investigation. The Steam web page additionally outlines further gameplay components together with loads of horse care to make sure participant steeds are managed nicely and multiplayer actions like horse races and path rides.
Sadly it seems as if the playtester signups closed down in some unspecified time in the future between January and March, and we additionally don’t have any launch timing for the sport but. What we do have, in fact, is that trailer in addition to the Steam web page for wishlisting functions. And a small remorse that we are able to’t name this one Dial “E” for Equine and “M” for Homicide. Formally, anyway.
