Prism 2033 promises next-gen MMORPG action on iOS & Android with AI-fuelled mechanics

Pocket Gamer RSS Feed3 min read(5 months ago)

Overview & Key Takeaways

The term 'next gen' can be a bit of a loaded one nowadays. After all, with graphical and gameplay leaps seeming so incremental, how do you measure the idea of generations anymore? Well, in the case of Prism 2033, the upcoming MMORPG from CyberNest, it's by going bigger and bolder than ever before. Prism 2033 is planned for release on iOS and Android, alongside PC and console. Set in the world of Flux City, a nexus for different realities, it offers up a practically endless variety of worlds for you to explore, ranging vastly in terms of setting and gameplay. ... [MORE]

  • Prism 2033 is an upcoming MMORPG from CyberNest coming soon to iOS and Android
  • It promises a vast multiverse centred on Flux City, with dense AI-driven mechanics
  • But will it live up to the hype promised by its Unreal Engine-powered trailer?

The term 'next gen' can be a bit of a loaded one nowadays. After all, with graphical and gameplay leaps seeming so incremental, how do you measure the idea of generations anymore? Well, in the case of Prism 2033, the upcoming MMORPG from CyberNest, it's by going bigger and bolder than ever before.

Prism 2033 is planned for release on iOS and Android, alongside PC and console. Set in the world of Flux City, a nexus for different realities, it offers up a practically endless variety of worlds for you to explore, ranging vastly in terms of setting and gameplay.

Powered by Unreal Engine 5, it's certainly not slacking on the graphics front either. But where Prism 2033 really stands out (for better or worse) is the deep integration of AI in terms of NPC behaviour, player interaction and beyond. CyberNest even promises to simulate the five senses for NPCs with their 'Information-Field' technology.

Through the looking glass

Of course, we've heard the 'AI can do anything' spiel before. But reactive NPCs and worlds are something that I think even many sceptics would consider intriguing. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean they can deliver, but it's more interesting than just trying to replace artists or musicians.

Prism 2033, for my money, may fall victim to ambition regardless. It seems to want to offer everything and nothing at the same time. And while the idea of exploring different multiverses is fun, it doesn't really grab you in the same way a more focused setting might. But when it does release, I'm sure it'll be one to watch.

In the meantime, if you want to brush up on your MMORPG skills, why not take a look at our list of the best mobile games like World of Warcraft to see what we think stands toe-to-toe with the biggest in the genre?

Heroic Legends Reborn is the product of two brothers rebuilding an MMO from the ground up

We all get nostalgic for games which other people seem to overlook. For me, it's Two Worlds (yeah, I know), and for two brothers, it's the now fifteen-year-old MMO Heroic Legends! So, what do you do when that game has disappeared? Well, if you're like them, you rebuild it yourself. With blessings from the original creators and access to the artwork used to create the hand-painted MMO, two brothers known as SonOfBoo and Andepher have recreated Heroic Legends from the ground up. Rechristened as Heroic Legends Reborn, it's slated to arrive on iOS and Android on September 5th. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/heroic-legends-reborn/coming-soon/)

Nintendo’s War On Switch Emulators Continues With 400 More GitHub Takedowns🍄 Nintendo Switch, Mobile, Multi-platform

Nintendo’s War On Switch Emulators Continues With 400 More GitHub Takedowns

Nintendo is doing what Nintendo does: issuing DMCA takedown notices to anyone who illegally offers access to any of the company's games. That's exactly what happened earlier this week, as Nintendo wiped out over 400 Switch emulators from GitHub. According to an August 21 TorrentFreak report(https://torrentfreak.com/nintendo-wipes-out-400-switch-emulator-repos-in-single-day-github-sweep/), the Mario maker sent the proprietary developer platform seven DMCA takedown notices targeting Nintendo Switch emulator repositories. This includes Suyu (the Yuzu successor that became popular after Yuzu shut down(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-lawsuit-shuts-down-switch-emulator-yuzu-and-3ds-emulator-citra/1100-6521589/) in March 2024), the Android emulator Skyline, and a few lingering Yuzu forks. In total, some 401 repositories were nuked off GitHub, with 311 of them being Suyu. Now that they're removed, if you attempt to visit the repository on GitHub, you'll receive either a 404 error or a pop-up notification that it's been taken down. In the DMCA pop-up notification, Nintendo states that the targeted repositories "offer, link to, or otherwise provide access to Nintendo Switch emulators." The company said these emulators violate Technological Protection Measures (TPMs), which act as digital locks controlled by copyright owners to prevent copying data illegally. "Specifically, these Nintendo Switch emulators illegally circumvent Nintendo's TPMs in order to run illegal copies of Nintendo Switch games," the notice reads. "Nintendo Switch games are encrypted using proprietary cryptographic keys (prod.keys) which protect against unauthorized access to and copying of the copyrighted games. During operation, the emulators at the reported repositories necessarily use unauthorized copies of these cryptographic keys to decrypt unauthorized copies of Nintendo Switch games, or ROMs, at or immediately before runtime without Nintendo's authorization." With Nintendo summoning the Eye of Mario on 401 repositories earlier this week, and over 8,500 repositories in May 2024(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-shuts-down-yuzu-clones-in-ongoing-quest-to-kill-switch-emulation/1100-6523158/), this brings the company's repository death count to almost 9,000 on GitHub alone. And with Nintendo filing a lawsuit against Yuzu creator Tropic Haze in February 2024(https://kotaku.com/nintendo-zelda-tears-kingdom-switch-yuzu-emulate-pirate-1851293463), which resulted in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom(https://www.gamespot.com/games/the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom/) being pirated over one million times before it launched, the company's war on emulators continues.
