PQube and game developer, VEWO Interactive Inc., announced in a press release three of the regions players will be able to explore in Nexomon: Extinction. Nexomon: Extinction is a new Pokémon-esque monster-catching game coming this year to Steam, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. If you have yet to hear about the game, watch the announcement trailer here.
PQube and VEWO Interactive Inc. also introduced 300 of the monsters you may encounter during your exploration of the interactive world. Set on a dying planet, roaming wild Nexomon, called Tyrants, are trying to take over the world, led by the King of Monsters. You play an orphan who decides to join the Guild of Tamers and help reset the balance between humans and Nexomon. You will battle both Tyrant Nexomon and other trainers as a way to level up your Nexomon. Much like in the classic Pokémon games, action will take place in turn-based battles. Also similar to Pokémon, there is a set of nine starter-Nexomon to choose from.
There is an array of landscapes for you to explore, and the developers just provided more detailed information about three of those regions. The first region is New Ignitia, a fire region somewhere in the Solus dessert. New Ignitia is an underground, volcanic city located at the bottom of a deep chasm. Unsurprisingly, you will be able to find fire-type Nexomon in this area. Battle is likely, as the local New Ignitia Tamer Guild has gone missing. In addition to a chance to catch some fire-type Nexomon, you are also able to pick up a new ax in the region to aid you in mining element shards.
Next is the Solus region itself. A highly dangerous zone, the Solus region contains element-type Nexomon and is abundant in gemstones. Players will encounter strange ruins, bandits, and the skeletons of Nexomon from the past. This zone is likely to be first encountered as you make your way to the desert fortress of Lateria.
Finally, PQube and VEWO Interactive Inc. also introduced gamers to an ice region called the Frozen Tundra. Players will not encounter ice-type Nexomons in this area, but rather water-type. The Tamer Guild maintains an outpost in the region, despite the harsh climate. Only more experienced players will be permitted to this area, as it will be one of the more brutal and difficult landscapes players will encounter. In addition to water-type Nexomon, players will find deep ice caves, a cursed tower, and even more elemental shards to mine.
Nexomon: Extinction looks like it will be a fun game with many monsters to discover, Tamers to compete against, and landscapes to explore. For those who are nostalgic for the old Pokémon GameBoy games, this could be a fun, modern take on a genre we love. Hopefully, it will deliver, and perhaps offer something new, rather than feel like a rehashing of a game that’s already been done.
