Hey everyone! Thank you all for your interest regarding Farever. You had plenty of questions on our Discord and other socials. In today’s blog we let Quentin, the game director of Farever, answer them!
Hey everyone, Quentin here,
Glad to be able to talk to you about Farever, and dive into the questions you might have for us!
I’ve been deep into online games for years. Enjoying the feeling of community, exploration, music, landscapes and challenges. It is an entire world to experience and enjoy.
Like a lot of players, we want something fresh, that could bring this experience while allowing you to jump right in and have fun without endless grinding or annoying time-gates slowing you down. Together with the team, we set out to build a game that’s all about memorable moments, whether you’re playing solo or with friends!
We’ve taken inspiration from the exploration and freedom of openworlds, the quirky vibes of classic 3D platformers, and the best parts of online adventures that bring players together and create memorable experiences through dungeons and discoveries.
Our goal is simple: make a game that’s rewarding, fun, and let you play your way!

How do the multiplayers work? Is the game always online or does it have dedicated servers?
Show details
Farever is a shared online world. You can join the world solo or with friends, and cross the path and interact with other players or if you prefer, wander in less populated areas or dungeons for more private adventures. The world is divided into several regional servers, each server has several layers that regroup players together for shared adventures, while avoiding overcrowding. You can also join in solo or with friends private dungeon instances that have been designed and balanced for solo or small groups.What are the core mechanics? Does it include survival or Building elements?
Show details
Farever is centered on character progression, exploration, and unique gameplay. You’ll develop your build by selecting a class, jobs, collecting loot, and upgrading your gear to match your preferred playstyle. The game offers you to gather resources not for base building or survival but for a detailed gathering and crafting system that will directly influence your combat and exploration prowess! To recap, here are the three core mechanics: A responsive combat system, with the option to take on deeper challenges and mastery for those seeking a tougher experience. A rewarding and satisfying exploration that leads to rewards and secrets to find! Gathering and crafting that support your journey by letting you create unique gear, upgrades, and gameplay-enhancing items.Could you tell us how combat works exactly?
Show details
The combat system in Farever is built to be welcoming for all players, yet deep enough for those who love to optimize and master their playstyle. At its core, Farever is a dynamic action RPG centered around smart skills usage and moment-to-moment gameplay. In a word : easy to learn, rewarding to master! Your build will reflect your unique approach, shaped by a combination of class-specific abilities and weapon unique skills. Whether you prefer tanking, supporting, or dishing out heavy damage, no two setups will ever feel the same. And that’s just the beginning, our Arsenal system adds an extra layer of customization, letting you equip additional skills that expand your tactical options even further. We’ll be diving deeper into that soon, so stay tuned!How does the class system work?
Show details
In Farever, you’ll choose one class for your character at the start of your journey. This class shapes your core gameplay identity and grants access to specific features, including unique passives and abilities that evolve as you progress. While your class sets the foundation, your build will mostly be influenced by the weapons you equip. Each weapon comes with its own skills, attacks, and buffs, so even if two players pick the same class, they can end up playing in totally different ways just based on their loadout.How will we advance through the game, talking about loot, xp, and linearity?
Show details
As said previously with the core mechanics, the progression will revolve around your gear and level. You’ll be able to loot your gear but also craft unique and special gear thanks to your job. Be an enchanter, jeweler, blacksmith,etc… There are plenty of activities for you to enjoy. Our goal is for those jobs to be of great use and importance for the rest of your journey, hence why it’ll be quite an important part of your character progression!How is the cosmetics side of the game? Are we able to transmog gears, or play something else than a human?
Show details
For everything related to cosmetics, we are considering our options based onthe kind of experience we want to offer you but are still in an early phase and can’t reveal much more. We’ll be able to provide more details later on the development. (that’s your cue to follow us on Steam so you don’t miss a thing!)Is the world pre-made or is there some procedural generation involved?
Show details
The world of Farever is fully handcrafted. Every zone, path, and dungeon has been built with intention. We wanted exploration to feel rewarding, not random. The game leans heavily into freedom of movement, verticality, and environmental storytelling. There’s a real joy in simply wandering and uncovering things at your own pace. And yes, there’s some light platforming involved as another unique way to reach cool places and secrets. We love that feeling of discovery, and we’ve built the world to deliver exactly that.Will there be a console or mobile support? Maybe Gamepad control?
Show details
We have always been PC focused first, with Farever being an ambitious game, we are staying on this course as of now, and will keep our development on PC until we feel Farever is ready for more! That said, we’ve been working hard to make both keyboard and gamepad controls in Farever as smooth and accessible as possible, no matter which you prefer.What should be the expected price? Is the game free-to-play?
Show details
The game will have a fixed price at release and will not include any type of subscriptions or pay to win mechanics. Just a regular premium game where you can pay once and play right away!When can we expect some gameplay?
Show details
We know a lot of you expect to join the beta that will happen later that year! While we cannot reveal any date yet, you won't have to wait for that long. Throughout the summer we will share segments of the game with you so that you can project yourself in it. After that summer we’ll plan for some playtest, if you want to be a part of them, don’t forget to join the community on our Discord and wishlist the game on Steam 👀
