Nexon has announced Vindictus: Defying Fate, a new high-speed fantasy action-RPG inspired by Celtic mythology that, yes, shares a universe with Nexon's own 2010 MMORPG, Vindictus. It is in development for PC, with a console release planned for sometime after the PC release.
Nexon says it will be conducting a public pre-alpha test for the PC version in "the coming weeks." You must wishlist Vindictus: Defying Fate in order to be eligible to participate. Check out the announcement trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.
Nexon promises plenty of character customization and challenge in the medieval fantasy setting. "Play with a large roster of distinct characters, each boasting unique abilities and combos, including series favorites Lann and Fiona," Nexon adds, mentioning the callback to the heroes of the 2010 MMORPG. Large Irish-mythology-inspired monsters that "tower over your character" as well as plenty of challenge are also promised.

A new game based on the Dungeons & Dragons license blending different genres was announced today by Gameloft.
Although I enjoy a wide variety of games from different genres, there are still parts of the video game zeitgeist I have little knowledge of. One of those blind spots is Korean MMOs like Nexon’s Vindictus, which attracts lots of players in Asia, but has made less of an impact in the U.S. Thankfully, my lack of familiarity with that space didn’t make the playtest for Vindictus: Defying Fate any less enjoyable.
I’m not personally familiar with Nexon’s 2010 MMO Vindictus, but its upcoming action-RPG spin-off Vindictus: Defying Fate is looking like a fairly flashy mix of Celtic mythology, dodge-and-slash swordplay and some sharp visuals. Luckily for me and you, we’ll be able to give it a go for free for the next week, as the game’s pre-alpha playtest is now live over on Steam.
