00:00Hey everyone, I'm Quentin, the game director of Forever,
00:03and I'll be the one giving you a first look at our new game
00:06that was revealed earlier this summer.
00:08At Eurogames, we love creating different kinds of experiences.
00:13Now we are tackling a brand new challenge,
00:15our own take on an online action RPG.
00:18You'll be able to explore wild landscapes and epic dungeons,
00:21build your own playstyle,
00:23craft powerful gear,
00:24and carve your path through dynamic combat and playful platforming.
00:28Today, we are diving straight into it
00:30and showing off its world, combat, boss fights and progression.
00:34Welcome to Forever.
00:39Forever is a multiplayer game where you are not a chosen hero,
00:42but one of many adventurers returning home.
00:45During your journey, you can group up with friends or meet other players.
00:49You will be able to look for ancient secrets,
00:52help those in need and complete many other activities together or by yourself.
00:58Sayagarta is a fully open world,
01:00with every region offering a variety of rich and unique locations,
01:03each defined by their own distinct visuals and gameplay.
01:06The world is entirely uncrafted,
01:08and nothing is procedurally generated.
01:11We take pride in rewarding curiosity
01:13and designing large dungeons and small secrets.
01:16After five centuries of exile in the remote region of Ante Limbo,
01:21humans are finally free.
01:23They are rediscovering the ancient world of Sayagarta,
01:26which had been largely destroyed and abandoned.
01:31Mobility is a key element of our game.
01:33You can move freely using your glider, your mount and other tools like a grappling hook,
01:38or you can use the environment to your advantage.
01:40This will allow you to scale the highest mountains and delve deep into the darkest caves.
01:45Each region has a story and reasons to be explored.
01:49Take this part of the first region.
01:51The Nebsids have made their home around the lost city of Maeda,
01:54leaving their mark on the region.
01:56It's up to you to explore their domain by facing their elite soldiers or clearing their camps.
02:01Doing activities like this will help you to complete each region,
02:05but also to progress as a character.
02:25The combat system is designed to be dynamic and easy to grasp,
02:28whether you use a mouse and keyboard or controller.
02:30You can strike, dash to dodge, block or even perfect block with good timing.
02:37But it's your character skills that will make the difference.
02:40Choose the right skill, manage cooldowns, pull off your combo and land tons of damage.
02:48Weapons are the heart of forever.
02:50There is no useless weapon that you throw away after 15 minutes.
02:54Each weapon has its own moveset,
02:56and more importantly, a collection of four unique skills.
03:04Take the Iron Fiends for example.
03:06Attacking reduces the cooldown of its skill,
03:08so you can spam it and splash damage all over your enemies.
03:14Claudius are a pair of fist weapons.
03:16Using a different skill each time,
03:18powers up the next one so your upper cut turns your foes into loot.
03:22Choose the weapon that suits you best and unlock its full potential
03:26by upgrading it and equipping the best gear possible.
03:32You've got a weapon you love and don't want to let go of?
03:34No problem, that's what the arsenal is for.
03:37Place it in the arsenal slot and choose which of its skills you'd like to assign to your skill bar.
03:42Two players with the same class and same weapons can end up playing completely differently,
03:48depending on which weapon they use and which one is in the arsenal.
03:52Between your class abilities, weapon skills, passives and the arsenal system,
03:58the possibilities for building your perfect setup are nearly endless.
04:02If you're looking to take on tougher challenges, instances like bosses and dungeons are made to be the pinnacle of what the region has to offer.
04:12A condensed and challenging experience designed for parties of 1 to 4 players, enemies there are more dangerous and more powerful.
04:20You will also have to use what you learned exploring the region, using its unique platforming elements to move through this hostile environment,
04:29as well as some unique features like this honey cannon over here.
04:50Here is Lady B, leader of the Apex Clan.
05:00She doesn't like you roaming around, and for that reason, and also for her loot, she must be… vanquished.
05:07Defeating her means learning her moves.
05:10First, she will target players with a honey bone that destroys the floor, leaving you with less and less room to maneuver.
05:20Then, you will have to bring her down using a familiar cannon.
05:49There is still more, but we wouldn't want to spoil the fun.
05:55For those who work as a team, don't worry, we've kept the trusty tank healer DPS.
06:01But healing is not just about topping up HP bars, and tanking is not just standing still and blocking.
06:08Each role is fun to play and can adapt to different play styles.
06:12When creating your character, beyond the many customization options, you will choose a class that represents the first gameplay orientation and specific mechanics.
06:28We want you to have real freedom when creating your builds.
06:32Every weapon is unique, but your class adds an extra layer of identity.
06:37You can personalize it even more through talents, skill choices, and passives.
06:42The same weapon can be used by different classes, but each class's mechanics make it feel completely different to play.
06:49This hybrid system means you play the same class in a completely different way depending on the weapon you use.
06:55Likewise, the same weapon can feel totally new when used by another class.
07:00On top of that, you'll be able to choose a crafting job and make your own gear to complete your character.
07:11If you want to provide consumables, like potions or food, become an alchemist or a cook.
07:18If you prefer to have the best equipment in the game, start your blacksmith or Jolu career.
07:23You just have to grant those unique recipes to become a master of your craft and make millions by selling to others.
07:29And that is just a glimpse of what is waiting for you in the world of Forever.
07:34There is so much for you to discover, but now it's your turn to dive in and see the world you crafted for yourself.
07:40We're launching a playtest on Steam.
07:42Join the first wave of explorers, try out our game, and share your feedback.
07:47You can sign up for it on the Steam page, and don't forget a wishlist while you're there.
07:52Thanks for watching and see you on the journey, Farseekers.
