The Warhammer 40,000 license is the latest to throw its hat into the MOBA ring with Dark Nexus Arena. The game, which is being developed by Whitebox Interactive, will be hitting Steam Early Access on 9 December 2015.
The gimmick for this MOBA is a “skill shot” game mechanic, where players can avoid the attacks from other characters, and take cover behind obstacles to avoid being in harm’s way. The game also steers from traditional MOBAs by completely removing lanes, towers and bases.
Instead of base capture or destruction, the main focus of the game is capturing the Dark Nexus three times, changing the style of teamwork that players must engage in to win. According to the developer, ”with no bases to return to and heal at, players must rely on their support characters to restore their health and their tank characters to be at the forefront of a battle, soaking up the damage.”
