Ashes of Creation Reveals Py’Rai Character Race; Developers Talk Animal Husbandry & More

Ashes of Creation developer Intrepid Studio hosted a livestream showcasing plenty of interesting elements of the upcoming MMORPG.

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect showcased is the look of the Py’Rai elven-ish race, which will be playable. We get to see both concept art and models and we hear that their antlers are their characterizing element. It’ll even be possible to have flowers and buds growing on them and reacting dynamically to the climate.

We also hear more details about the animal husbandry profession, which appears to be extremely deep and detailed.

More highlights include a showcase of character tech and more assets created for the game.

You can check the video out below.

Ashes of Creation is a very promising fantasy MMORPG coming to Windows PC. If you want to hear more, you can check out our hands-on preview from last year.

The game is currently being transitioned to Unreal Engine 5.

Below you can read how the developers describe the game:

Experience an MMORPG where everything is permanently impacted
by your actions – explore, trade, build, and let the world take form. From your imagination through your will and into everyone’s reality, what you create will be the cornerstone of the next explorer’s ambition.

Risk Vs Reward
All across Verra, you have the opportunity to experience massive warfare, participate in epic trade caravans, and gather valuable components to craft exquisite items. Not only will your fellow players be your adversaries; the creatures of the land and the very environment itself will pose a constant and fresh challenge. Will you siege castles to become royalty, defeat other guilds to showcase your prowess, shape the marketplace by being a successful trader, or earn renown by developing your artisan crafting skills? This is your story, you tell us!

An Open World
Ashes of Creation is a unique take on the MMORPG experience. Our world structure is dynamic, and built to react to your actions. Cities will rise and fall as you shape the world of Verra. Quests and secrets will unlock as populations gather and their needs grow. As the world’s NPC structure is established in real-time, you will have the ability to destroy what’s been created, paving the way for new developments, populations, and change. Political strife and intrigue will play a very real role in the structure of your experience. Gone are the days of static worlds; change is here to stay!
