Wolfpack Games announced that they're working on a new game that's titled as Havenhold. This unique multiplayer survival combat game is centered around a contest where players ascend to the top of the mystic Kunlun Mountain which resets every 14 days. They get to train as a warrior monk, wield primordial powers, craft and trade, battle dark monsters, as they fight with other players in intense battles for access to the sacred peak.
In particular, players take on the role of the descendants of the Taichu Order. These are warrior monks having the rare ability to Spirit Bind along with being able to use the transformative power of Primordial Spirits.
As they journey across the Kunlun Mountain area, players need to search through dungeons, ruins, and sacred temples, in an attempt to recover ability scrolls which can unlock new combat skills. They also have to uncover blueprints to craft upgraded gear and weapons.
As players climb higher towards the peak of Kunlun Mountains, the boss encounters are going to encourage warriors to form a party together to co-op the much more difficult areas. In the final days of the cycle, the strongest warriors left then compete in an all-our war to see who is deserving of all the glory of the Kunlun Mountain.
The contest begins again with any skills and items transferred to the new cycle.
Key features of Havenhold include:
- Cyclical Warfare: Compete in a dynamic contest that resets every 14 days, carrying over hard-earned skills and items.
- Primordial Powers: Spirit Bind with ancient entities to unlock devastating combat abilities.
- Craft and Conquer: Discover blueprints to craft superior gear and weapons, essential for survival.
- Exploration and Discovery: Explore dungeons, ruins, and temples, uncovering ability scrolls and valuable loot.
- Cooperative Challenges: Team up with fellow warriors to overcome formidable bosses in the mountain's treacherous higher reaches.
- All-Out War: In the final days of each cycle, engage in intense PvP battles to claim ultimate glory.
In a statement, Wolfpack Games Co-Founder Stephan Wang shared that the game is all about “pushing the boundaries of survival combat” while also having that unique cyclical structure. He added that they’re excited for players to join the upcoming closed beta test and see how they “forge their own legends” in the game.
Havenhold is currently in Early Access development on Steam.
