While it has unfortunately started to become a common trend for game companies to begin backing stuff like the Metaverse and NFTs it always stings when a project you’re looking forward to goes all in on them. Then there’s the icky elephant in the room we need to talk about, Pearl Abyss. I still love this trailer but I’m now at a point where I need to see this stuff in action to believe it. While the second trailer claims to be a gameplay trailer, a lack of UI and the quick cuts between clips makes it feel more like a gameplay concept trailer than an actual gameplay one. While it is expected for games not to show off a lot of gameplay for their first or second trailer we are rapidly approaching the fourth anniversary of this game’s reveal and have seen very little. There have also been a few minor red flags for me personally in the marketing, the biggest of which being a lack of showing off actual gameplay. While we know very little about the game’s internal development I cannot imagine it has been pleasant due to factors like changing the game from being an MMO to not being an MMO to an MMO again or suddenly creating a mobile version despite claiming there wouldn’t be one a year ago. Now that we’ve reached the present day I have to say, a lot of my confidence in DokeV is quickly draining away. The game is also slated to once again be an MMO like originally planned! The game has indeed been moved back to 2024 but will now be released on mobile devices alongside consoles and PC, despite earlier interviews denying the possibility of a mobile version.

Our most recent DokeV news came from a livestream done by Pearl Abyss to give us an update on the game. It wasn’t until Pearl Abyss’ Q3 2022 Earnings Report that we heard about the game again, and the news was far from positive.ĭokeV has now been delayed to 2024 and rumors began to spur that some of the game’s core staff members left the team. Soon after the Game Awards we learned via another financial report that Pearl Abyss was planning to release DokeV in 2023! And after that we got next to radio silence about the game for most of 2022. Keep in mind this was a majority of the world’s first impression of DokeV and this negative impression will stick with the game forever.
This was by far the biggest stage DokeV has ever been on and instead of showing any gameplay or something super substantial like the previous Gamescom trailer we instead got a music video of various 3D models dancing to the game’s theme song. Eventually we did get more news about the game during Gamescom 2021 where we received a new trailer! This was where I first learned about the game and became super excited for it! Around this time it was also announced that DokeV would no longer be an MMO but rather a normal Open-World Action Adventure game that would have some multiplayer features that were not highlighted at Gamescom.įrom this point on DokeV entered a typical gaming news cycle of the devs giving interviews every once and a while as well as development videos showing up online to show off graphical details such as the game’s lighting engine and water physics.ĭuring the 2021 Game Awards on December 10th 2021 DokeV once again received a trailer and it…wasn’t very good. A few days later in early December Pearl Abyss opened up the official website for DokeV, showing off various screenshots as well as advertising the game’s theme song “Rockstar” by Galactika and a promise that the game would go into beta during 2020.Īfter the initial reveal in 2019 news about DokeV was very sparse with the only noteworthy thing to speak of being a small mention in Pearl Abyss’ 2020 Financial Report as an upcoming project. This first trailer flew under the radar for most of the internet but did gain a niche audience of interested gamers. Let’s go over the game’s history and try to figure out exactly what’s going on with this game.ĭokeV was initially announced to public in November 7th 2019 as a brand new MMO from Pearl Abyss before receiving its first trailer on the 14th of the same month at G★STAR, an annual Korean video game trade show. However as time goes on a big question keeps popping up “When is this game going to come out?”. The art style and character designs are very appealing to me and the thought of an open world Pokemon styled game that actually works sounds amazing. I’ve been greatly looking forward to DokeV ever since it first got revealed.
The game is also allegedly going to have various multiplayer mechanics so that you can play in its world with your friends, we’ll get into more detail about that part later as it’s complicated. It’s an Open-World, Action-Adventure game about catching creatures similar to Pokemon being developed by Korean game studio Pearl Abyss.
Do you all know about DokeV? I’m willing to bet that a lot of you haven’t even heard of it.
