Wakfu
Gamers can kick off the new year by jumping into the new turn-based strategy MMO brought to you by Square Enix and French studio Ankama Games.
Wakfu is the follow-up to Dofus, a Flash-based MMO that has garnered 25 million registered users since Ankama released it in 2004. Come January 4, you can check out their ambitious new project that features an anime art style and tile-based, turn-based battles, and Bastion-style floating worlds. Don't let the cutesy art fool you – this involving game features tactical combat, a complex item crafting, a mining-based economy, and even a governmental system. Take a look at the gameplay in action below.
Wakfu is currently scheduled to release in 2012. Much of the content will be free to play, but items will be available via micro transaction, and a $6 monthly fee allows you to access "premium content."
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
