Microids and Olydri Games are delighted to announce the signing of a co-publishing agreement over the release of the game Noob – The Factionless on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One consoles, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch in 2023. Retail versions as well as a Collector’s Edition will also launch simultaneously, and the game will include localization in several languages at launch.
Currently available in early access on Steam (only in French at the moment), Noob – The Factionless is a turn-based RPG set in the universe of Noob, the French transmedia franchise created by Fabien Fournier & Anne-Laure Jarnet in 2008, recounting the epic and humoristic adventures of a team of newbie players in a fictional MMORPG called Horizon.
Noob – The Factionless tells the adventure of four beginner players, forming the Rush guild comprising Baster, an eager and competitive Neogician; Drek, his best friend, and blundering Berserker; May, an ambitious and sometimes arrogant Fortune-teller; and finally Logs, a dreamer and naïve Elementalist passionate about cooking.
Together, they hope to quickly reach level 100 and unlock their Legendary class to join the elite of Horizon players. They wish to see the Rush guild becoming one of the greatest guilds in the game alongside the Noob, Justice, Roxxor, and Pro Game Master guilds.
Besides the challenges encountered in the virtual world of this MMO, they will also have to complete quests ‘IRL’ (in real life).
Inspired by classic RPGs from the 1990s – 2000s and MMORPGs, Noob – The Factionless will let you play as 4 heroes and alternate between the real world and the virtual universe of Horizon. The game will feature several gameplay mechanics including exploration, turn-based combats, as well as main and secondary quests to complete. In this brand-new adventure based on the French web series Noob, our heroes will have to level up their avatars to achieve their full potential.
