• DokeV developer explains what the game really is

DokeV caused a stir when it appeared at the Gamescom 2021 Opening Night live presentation. The eventful trailer was certainly compelling, but ultimately left us completely in awe of what DokeV really is. Fortunately, developer Pearl Abyss was happy to develop. Another DokeV trailer landed at the Gamescom 2021 Future Games Show, which featured short interview segments with key personnel working on the game. We're still a long way from fully understanding DokeV, but now we're happy to have some. additional puzzle pieces in place. To recap what we previously knew, DokeV is an open-world action-adventure game coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC sometime in 2022. The player teams up with adorable creatures known as Dokebi, who can help you out. in battle against giant robotic enemies. But combat is only one of the activities that DokeV presents, since we will be able to explore the open world in all kinds of vehicles, and apparently we will be able to carry out odd jobs and side missions on the go. Senior Producer Sangyoung Kim provided additional context on Dokebi, stating, “Dokebi are spiritual entities that appear in traditional Korean tales and have been an inspiration to me. "The story of the game revolves around collecting Dokebi and going on various adventures with friends. The story will progress as you meet different people, listen to their stories, and help them solve their problems." In fact, collecting Dokebi also seems to be quite a complex process, as Kim explains, "As the story progresses, you will find and collect more and more Dokebi. When you meet specific conditions, a special event will appear for this Dokebi, and you will progress to through a unique story to collect this Dokebi. Clues about the Dokebi can be found not only in cities but all over the world."

Analysis: Finally, a bit of clarity.

Honestly, we were pretty worried that we would have to wait a few months before getting more clarity on what DokeV is. Fortunately, this new trailer shed some light on the project, and we're even more excited about it now than we were after Opening Night Live. From what we now know, Pearl Abyss seems to want DokeV to be a game you can take at your own pace. As game designer Changkee Nam explained: "Currently, the gameplay trailer consists mostly of fighting scenes. But there are a wide variety of games on DokeV and you'll be free to try them out in-game." It all sounds very Yakuza, doesn't it? In the sense that the meat and potatoes of the game is that high-octane combat loop, but there are plenty of side activities that can become just as immersive as the main game itself. This is the direction we expect DokeV to go in. We don't yet know if DokeV will be a pure single player experience or if a multiplayer component will be offered. We hope for the latter, as the game was originally billed as an MMO before it was scaled down. We expect some of these more MMO-focused features to make their way into the final game. In the meantime, we expect Pearl Abyss to keep us regularly updated on DokeV as we get closer to 2022, when the game is scheduled for release. So far it looks pretty polished, the open world looks like a lot of fun to explore with all the different crossover options, and the fight with Dokebi looks completely insane.
