Ubisoft’s Animal Crossing-Style Game: Work-in-Progress
The project has been undergoing several developments for more than 1.5 years, says Insider Gaming reports. The Ubisoft’s Animal Crossing-Style Game has been put to work post-cancellation of a previous voxel-based title that was in the works for around 4 years. The current project is built on the idea of Minecraft simulation game, where the live characters are set out on an open island. Sources state that the players have the leeway to traverse beyond the boundaries of their home island.
Players will get to see an island filled with interactive NPCs known as Matterlings. With the help of NPCs, the player can guide their way to their desired destination. They can take aid of these NPCs on their journey, case-in-point, birds, dragons, polar bears, or any creature to chat and know more about the new area. In this game, the players will also bump into enemies, biomes, Matterlings, etc.
Ubisoft’s Team, Game Creatures, & More
According to Insider Gaming reports, the voxel-style Matterlings in Alterra appear like Funko Pops with big-sized heads, giving a cartoonish resemblance overall. Moreover, the game features unique creatures and real-world animals as aforementioned above.
As the game is developed on Minecraft’s gaming mechanics, players will experience a lot of mobility through the game. Additionally, players will be seen moving around the place to carry out various activities. For example, if a player wants to build a table or make a snowman, they have to commute to other parts of the world to get the necessary materials in constructing these items.
Ubisoft’s Animal Crossing-Style Game is in the half-baked stage and there is no official news about the launch date yet. The game is developed by Ubisoft Montreal, and Patrick Redding, former lead on Gotham Knights, is assigned as the creative director for Alterra’s project. Fabien Lhéraud, a Ubisoft veteran, boasting 20+ years of experience in areas of marketing, branding, and media, is also a part of this big project working as the lead producer. Ubisoft’s Animal Crossing-Style Game has been on wheels, working day in and day out for 18 months so far, and is anticipated to be several years away from the big launch.
