In this video, SaltEMike reacts to the upcoming MMOs set to release in 2024. He starts by discussing Throne and Liberty, a game that has already been released in Korea and is set to have a global launch in early 2024. Despite a poor reception during beta testing, SaltEMike remains hopeful due to the implemented changes based on feedback. The game boasts an open world with seamless gameplay and a large number of simultaneous players. It features various PvE and PvP content, including difficult group encounters and castle sieges. However, there are concerns about the game’s monetization, with the main currency in the player trading auction house being paid for with real money.
Next, SaltEMike talks about Dune Awakening, an open world survival MMO being developed by Funcom. The game combines elements from multiplayer survival games and traditional MMOs. It takes place in a vast desert environment with sandstorms that constantly change the landscape. Players can explore various locations, complete objectives, and encounter sandworms drawn to disturbances. While the game looks promising, there are doubts about its performance and potential for optimization.
SaltEMike then discusses Once Human, a third-person open world MMO that combines mechanics from looter shooters and survival games. He personally enjoyed playing the game, which offers a mix of open world exploration, PvE activities, and looting. The game features strongholds, world events, boss fights, and a variety of other activities. However, it is expected to have some form of pay-to-win mechanics, which may deter some players.
He also mentions Blue Protocol, an action combat anime MMO from Bandai Namco. The game has already been released in certain parts of the world, with a global version planned for 2024. It offers a lobby-based shared world with instant zones and player caps. While the game looks visually impressive, there are concerns about its monetization and potential pay-to-win elements.
Lastly, SaltEMike briefly mentions other upcoming MMOs, including Corp Punk and Project LL. He also mentions that several highly anticipated MMOs from big-name developers are not expected to release in 2024. However, he highlights that there will be expansions and updates for existing MMOs, such as World of Warcraft and Elder Scrolls Online. He concludes by mentioning that there may be surprises in terms of release dates and unexpected game launches in 2024.
Overall, SaltEMike provides an overview of the upcoming MMOs set to release in 2024, discussing their gameplay features, potential concerns, and release timelines.
