This also doesn’t mean there won’t be any multiplayer, though. At the beginning of the game’s development, an MMO made more sense, whereas now it doesn’t. Kim also mentioned that there are even more ways to get around the island that have yet to be seen.įinally, the game is no longer classified as an MMO, now simply referring to itself as an “open-world action-adventure.” Kim told IGN that the change was simply a shift in priorities. This doesn’t mean travel will be slow, though, as DokeV is filled with plenty of creative traversal methods, including a rocket skateboard, jet skis, bicycles, cars, gliding umbrellas, and even some friendly ridable alpacas.

“I’m not sure how to express the island’s magnitude,” Kim said, “but you can think of it like this: the parts of town you’ve seen in the trailer are less than 10% of the actual island.” For reference, two different towns have been shown off so far, and both look sizable enough to get lost in. These activities will be scattered across an open world that the producer says is going to be far larger than fans expected. When there are battles on the course of the adventure, players can fight with the help of Dokebi, but there are many activities where they can use the skillset of Dokebi. “As players progress in the game,” he explains, “they will get several hints about Dokebi, and eventually, befriend them after meeting special conditions using information from these hints and reading through each Dokebi’s unique backstory.” These special conditions might be battles, but Kim also implied that there will be more to do with befriended Dokebi than just making them fight. He explains that battling and capturing these Dokebi takes a backseat to exploration and immersion into the world of DokeV. IGN recently talked to Sangyoung Kim (the game’s lead producer) about how players will interact with these monsters.
