Andrew Gower, known for co-founding Jagex, has introduced a new MMO titled “Brighter Shores” under Fen Research, scheduled for a Q3 2024 launch on Steam. This game is designed as a point-and-click style RPG, looking very similar to Runescape.
Players begin their journey in Hopeport as members of the town guard, facing unexpected challenges that include a mysterious storm and local unrest.
“Brighter Shores” enables players to unlock powerful magical abilities, transforming into one of the classes such as Cryoknight, Guardian, or Hammermage. These powers are essential for addressing the corruption spreading through the nearby Hopeforest.
The game offers a broad selection of professions, ranging from Fisher, Forager, and Chef to Woodcutter, Miner, Alchemist, Stonemason, Merchant, and Blacksmith. This variety allows players to customize their experience according to their interests and strategies.
Featuring a model that continuously expands, “Brighter Shores” plans to release new content in episodic formats. These episodes will introduce unique side quests, professions, and lands, further developing the game’s central storyline.
While the core game will be accessible for free, “Brighter Shores” also offers a Premium Pass for players interested in extended content. This pass provides access to all episodes, including additional stories, professions, and exploration areas.
