The newly formed studio Liithos has announced Ashfall – an upcoming survival game on PC, consoles and Web 3.0. The Ashfall development team includes the former creative staff behind games like Days Gone, Siphon Filter, The Last of Us, and Uncharted: Golden Abyss. Liithos’ team includes Michael Mumbauer (founder & CEO of Liithos, formerly founder & CEO of That’s No Moon and head of PlayStation’s visual arts) and John Garvin ( vice president, Creative at Liithos, content author and director of Ashfall, former creative director from Days Gone’s Bend Studio and Siphon Filter) and a host of senior staff from studios and companies famous in the gaming industry.
The first project that Liithos is working on is Ashfall, which is a survival game set in a world ravaged by natural disasters and global warming. The goal is for Ashfall to start out as a single-player title, before evolving into a PVP & PVE multi-mode title. There is currently no release time for Ashfall, but it is in open development for PC, console, and Web 3.0.
Ashfall has yet to announce a release date.
Web 3.0 refers to the fact that the game is connected to the Hedera network, which uses a blockchain alternative known as a hashgraph. Ashfall will use this technology to allow players to build, sell, and trade items. It is currently unclear how this technology differs from existing systems and how deeply it will be integrated into Ashfall. It looks like Ashfall is still in the early stages of development, as all that has been revealed so far are background artwork and a brief trailer, showing a ruined city. destroyed, with a smoldering volcano in the background.
The fact that Ashfall is connected to a new technology is likely to dominate the debate surrounding the game, especially when so little is known about it. It is difficult to make a judgment until the details of how this technology works with the game’s systems are revealed, as they will likely not be implemented until after launch if the game does start. as a single-player experience. Ashfall has a team that has a lot of experience working with games, but these developers can have an uphill battle trying to promote the game to gamers who don’t like the presence of NFT in the game. .
