Hello, this is Warhaven Team.
Here are some highlights from Director Eunseok Lee's interview at the IGN Gamescom Post Show, as well as additional comments from the development team.
1. The number of players in the game is adjusted.
◼ The existing 16 vs 16 mode personnel will be changed to 12 vs 12 for more optimal gameplay.
• The size of Squad and party members will also change from 4 to 3.
• This results in slightly a better quality matches (faster, with people of similar skill, on a closer server), slightly less complexity in the challenge, and performance optimization benefits.
◼ In addition to the 12 vs 12 mode, there will also be a 6 vs 6 mode, too.
2. A variety of game modes will be available.
◼ Dominion (renamed from Skirmish), which was introduced during SNF, Onslaught and Arms Race will be back in the game too.
• The rules of gameplay are now more simplified and improved for the fun factor.
• Now players can join in the battle even faster than before in Arms Race.
◼ For the 6 vs 6 smaller group mode will be added in the game such as Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag.
3. The incarnation system is being revamped.
◼ Previously, players could incarnate multiple times by accumulating points, but incarnations happened to appear much more frequently within a single game and the game flow became too linear and fixed.
◼ To resolve this, now all players will be able to use incarnation once during a game match.
4. In-game products will not affect the game balance especially in the battle.
◼ Most of the rewards and purchasable items in the World Pass (Battle Pass) consist of cosmetic items that are not related to performance.
◼ And of course, these kinds of cosmetic contents will not affect the game balance either.
The interview will also be posted on the Warhaven YouTube channel on Thursday, August 23 at 19pm (PST).
As always, we will try to keep announcing any additional news related to Warhaven, and we hope you'll stay tuned for future videos as well.
Thank you.
