Skyforge is a newly announced AAA MMORPG game from publishing giants Mail.RU, localized for Western Audiences by Obsidian Games, a team with massively success titles in their arsenal including Neverwinter Nights 2 and South Park: Stick Of Truth. As Skyforge has only just been revealed to the masses there's little information available at the moment but from what has been released, it's shaping up to be one of the most promising MMO games of 2014.

One of the many unique elements of Skyforge is the games setting. Stepping away from the traditionally restrictive approach to fantasy-based titles, Skyforge promises to deliver an entirely new take on the MMO genre with a combination of mythology, fantasy and science-fiction, a physical embodiment of the biggest genres in gaming today.

The official Skyforge website details a unique character progression path unlike anything seen in the MMO scene before. Players begin their journey as an immortal amidst a deadly battle between man and god. Through the tough trials ahead players will eventually evolve into a mighty champion before becoming a god themselves, gaining the agility to stand toe-to-toe against the strongest forces in the universe.

It only takes a quick peek at the Skyforge screenshots and videos to realize this is going to be a game of quality. The graphics look astonishing and the details surrounding the combat system promises to deliver a visceral, action-packed feature that breaks from the traditionally numb approach of hotkey combat and macros.

Another incredibly exciting element to Skyforge is the manner in which players will play. If you're familiar with today's MMO games you've probably seen the current state of shards. These split-servers often result in split communities, with thousands of players on each server never having the potential to meet other people. Skyforge will use 1 single server. Combined with it's own in-game social networking system and Skyforge could truly return the Massively to MMO.
