HoYoverse has just unveiled its newest game, Varsapura, together with a half-hour gameplay demo. Read on to learn more about Varsapura and what it's about.
Varsapura Unveiled as HoYoverse's Newest Game
31-minute Gameplay Demo Debuted
Varsapura, HoYoverse's latest title, has just been revealed via a blog post on the HoYoLAB website. This was accompanied by a 31-minute video showcasing early gameplay and cutscenes.
The game is an open-world action RPG that features a narrative-driven thriller. The trailer showed off fast and fluid combat, featuring multiple characters with their own movesets and abilities. Gathered from what was shown, players will be able to seamlessly switch between up to three characters in the middle of a fight.
Players aren’t expected to rely solely on combat, however, as the demo also showcased the game’s stealth mechanics. Enemies can be taken down silently or avoided completely, depending on what the situation requires.
Lastly, the demo video also showed glimpses of the game’s open-world driving, branching dialogue, and destructible environments.
A Thrilling Revenge Story
In Varsapura, players take on the role of a woman referred to as a Hollowone. The demo begins with the protagonist applying for a job at SEAL, the mysterious and secretive bureau in charge of dealing with monsters and paranormal threats. Chief among these threats is Mindrot, a phenomenon that manifests itself as the rapid degradation of items, the warping of minds, and the spawning of dangerous creatures.
As the trailer progresses, the main character's true motivations are revealed. She aims to join SEAL not to serve and protect, but to hunt down one of its agents, who she says "killed [her] former self."
Not much has been revealed about Varsapura thus far. No launch date or release platforms have been announced by HoYoverse.
