Arc Games today announced it is publishing a new game: Fellowship, developed by Stockholm-based studio Chief Rebel. Fellowship is a “multiplayer online dungeon adventure,” which the publisher describes as a mash-up of gameplay from various genres (such as MOBAs, MMOs and ARPGs). Arc Games is targeting a 2025 release for the game on PC, though it launches closed alpha testing for players who sign up on August 15.
In Fellowship, teams of up to four players choose characters from a large roster and go on dungeon runs together, with experiences ranging from Quick Play adventures that last a few minutes to Ranked dungeons in which players can scale the dungeon and pick various modifiers. According to Chief Rebel, what separates Fellowship from other multiplayer titles is that there’s no progression or leveling up to get to the dungeons — the game is all dungeon, with no barrier to its challenge at the outset.
Axel Lindberg, CEO at Chief Rebel, said in a statement, “We’re very excited to introduce Fellowship, a passion project that we’ve been working on for a long time since we formed Chief Rebel. With Fellowship, we took inspiration from many games that we love to create a dungeon adventure that lets players jump right into the best part of MMOs and ARPGs, end-game dungeons, right from the start with ease.”
Yoon Im, Arc Games CEO, added, “Fellowship marks the beginning of a new genre that aims to modernize the traditional MMO gameplay experience, making it a potential game changer in our industry. We are thrilled to leverage our extensive online multiplayer and MMO expertise to support Chief Rebel on this ambitious new video game. The Closed Alpha test is just the beginning for Fellowship, as we have a lot of incredible content and features to unveil as we look toward a PC launch next year.”
