4J Studios has announced an exciting new project called Reforj, an expansive open-world multiplayer survival sandbox game set for multiple platforms including PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. The studio, renowned for their work on Minecraft Console Edition, brings their expertise to this ambitious title. The recently released pre-alpha gameplay trailer offers a glimpse into the early stages of development, showcasing players soaring through the terrain with a wingsuit, enabling dynamic jumps from high cliffs and thrilling descents into valleys.
According to 4J Studios, Reforj will feature “procedurally-generated voxel worlds teeming with unique creatures and unfamiliar elements,” promising an adventurous and vivid gameplay experience. In this innovative environment, players will have the ability to manipulate individual voxel blocks, allowing for a higher degree of creativity in sculpting their surroundings compared to traditional survival-crafting games. The studio emphasizes that players must navigate ever-evolving landscapes filled with potential dangers, enticing them to explore deeper caves for resources—though the risks increase as they delve further underground.
Powering Reforj is the proprietary Elements Engine, designed to leverage the full capabilities of next-gen consoles and graphics technology, enhancing speed and the realism of physics in the game. The trailer showcases impressive visual effects, including immersive birdflight dynamics and intricate block destru.
