Hotta Studio launched a brand new Tower of Fantasy trailer highlighting a number of the characters you may count on to satisfy within the upcoming Genshin Affect-styled RPG. That’s what the trailer says a minimum of, but it surely focuses simply as a lot on showcasing a number of the traversal strategies you should use to get across the sci-fi world of Aida, together with a mech shell and a robotic unicorn. Whereas Tower of Fantasy appears and, from the beta, performs rather a lot like Genshin Affect, the trailer helps present what makes Hotta’s open-world journey a bit totally different.
For one factor, you may apparently use a personality’s skills by yourself protagonist with out altering their look, which is helpful assuming you may customise their look. There’s additionally a larger number of weapons on present, which appear distinctive to the characters wielding them. Shiro makes use of huge chakra, Samir wields pistols, and Cocoritter makes use of what appears like a magic employees.
Whereas evidently most characters have a regular set of assaults and two abilities, much like Genshin Affect, it appears just like the weapon selection will make for a extra distinctive fight setting.
It helps that there’s a broader number of enemies to combat as properly. Hotta launched a battle trailer earlier in July displaying off only a style of fight in Tower of Fantasy, and in it, we catch a glimpse of huge monsters, robots gone mad, individuals gone mad due to robots apparently possessing them, and fairly a bit extra.
These appear to be distinctive encounters, although the character trailer additionally reveals the same old common battles you in all probability should grind for character development, like Genshin and different gacha video games.
There’s nonetheless no phrase but on when Tower of Fantasy may launch, however with the rising cadence of knowledge drops, we’d be shocked if Hotta didn’t have plans to launch it quickly.
In the meantime, in case you want one thing to tide you over, HoYoverse is gearing as much as launch loads of new updates in Genshin Affect, together with the Sumeru area and new Dendro characters within the coming weeks.
