A 14-year-old MMO is getting spun off into an "adrenaline-fueled" action RPG that has you battle furry hunks

Vindictus, the MMO that's be💛en chugging along for 14 years, is getting a single-player spin🦄-off. 

Publisher Nexon launched its dark fantasy MMO back in 2012, notable for featuring fast real-time combat, and while it didn't set the world on fire, the game ha⛦s been quietly t💞hriving with semi-frequent events, updates, and more for well over a decade.

Retaining the MMO's snappier spirit, Nexon just recently anno🦋unced a new action game set in the same universe, Vindictus: Defying Fate, which shares "familiar characters, NPCs, region names, monsters, and certain outfits." Though, this time, it's a solo adventure. The MMO is largely focused on PvE content anyway, so this is a more natural transition than one might expect.&𒐪nbsp;

De🦂fying Fate's reveal trailer serves as more of a mood piece, rather than an intro to this world, but seeing our main hero engage in beatdowns against furry, chunky beasts is all I really neede💙d. Combat looks heavy and fluid, the enemies look ferocious, and the world looks genuinely gorgeous if a little overfamiliar. 

The game's description shares that the world draws inspiration from Celtic mythology, probably explaining the hulking, weapon-wielding wolves and such. "Each ch▨aracter is unique not only in appearance but weapon♕s and combat style," the page continues, "allowing you to choose the combat experience that suits your playstyle and personality."

Vindictus: Defying Fate has no release date thus far, but it will launch on PC and consoles. In the meantime, you can familiarize you🐓rself with its older online sibl🍸ing over on .
