About half a year ago (time is fleeting so I’m not sure how accurate that estimate is) my friend showed me the trailer to an upcoming MMO.
I don’t remember a lot. What I do remember is that the art-style, including characters, looked similar to Minecraft/Hytale, but less blocky on the world side, characters did look blocky though, I believe.
I remember a scene where about 30 player characters invaded a small fortification with wooden palisade walls. At least one of the player characters had a staff or wand that would allow them to use fire magic.
I believe the game was advertised as one of those “you can build outposts anywhere” kind of games (the ones that never work out) where that group of 30 players raided one of those outposts.
I’m not sure what stage the game was at, but I believe it was a kickstarter campaign/looking for funding.
The Bloodline? Not an MMO, but the aesthetic fits and mechanics sound reasonably similar.
Sadly not, but the aesthetics are at least close to what I remember.
Valheim?
I wish. It’s definitely a lot more niche than Valheim. It could be more of a Valheim/Terraria/etc like than a “real” MMO though.
Could it be something like Veloren? That’s not an upcoming game, but it seems to fit your description.
It’s an open source voxel MMO. But it has been available for a while. Maybe a recent video showcased an upcoming future feature.
Also not it :(
