Nexon Announces Standalone Action RPG Vindictus Spinoff Vindictus: Defying Fate

Nexon is expanding the Vindictus IP with a standalone spinoff set in the free-to-play MMORPG’s universe called Vindictus: Defying Fate. It’s described as an “adrenalin-fueled action game” where players will go up against towering monsters and creatures inspired by Celtic mythology.

“Immerse yourself in a dark and intense odyssey, where you'll face towering adversaries and navigate a 3D world teeming with mystery and danger. Embrace the challenge, embark on the journey, and be a part of the saga that defies fate.”

Vindictus: Defying Fate features fully customizable characters that players will be able to equip with an array of weapons, gear, and outfits from the original game. Based on the game’s Steam description, it looks like combat will be similar to the Monster Hunter games where monsters have their own distinct attack patterns that players will need to learn and anticipate.

The spinoff will initially launch on PC as a single-player title, with a multiplayer mode promised at some point after its release, and possibly even a console release. The game is still in pre-alpha, so that’s likely going to be a while. In the meantime, you can check out the game’s first official trailer below.
