New AAA Game “Project HP” Shows First “Hack & Slash Swordpunk” Gameplay In New Trailer

Following the first cinematic reveal of its upcoming game code-named “Project HP,” Nexon released an extended trailer showing the first gameplay.

We get to see PvP action that could feel reminiscent of games like Chivalry or For Honor, with the inclusion of beastmen and magic.

We also get a brief official description.

“HP is an explosive PVP medieval-fantasy multiplayer melee action game. Grab your weapon of choice and storm the battlefield to engage in massive, all-out hack and slash Swordpunk warfare. Get ready to spear, slice and shatter your way to victory.”

You can watch the trailer below,  in smooth 4K resolution and 60 frames-per-second.

The game is defined as a “AAA PC Game” directed by Eunseok Yi, who previously worked on Mabinogi, Vindictus, and Durango.

“Project HP” is just a working title, and you can read a translation of the narration in Korean by activating subtitles with the “CC” button.

It isn’t a lot of information for now, but a pre-alpha test will be executed between August 5 and August 8 with applications starting today.

Interestingly, the small print mentions that this game isn’t for kids and those under the age of 18 cannot apply to the alpha test.
