The game is basically single player, but you can play up to 4 players online and 2 players split screen co-op.

There's an early version demo too on Steam.

Looks like it could be cool. Added to wishlist, hopefully it turns out to be good.

Looks ambitious but what the fuck is up with the fish-eye effect going on? It made me motion sick just watching the gameplay video.

Every time a game advertises itself as "oh it's The Elder Scrolls except with _________", the end product never comes close to scratching that unique itch that only TES can. This does look a bit promising though.

That's a funny name. "Adalar" means "islands" or "isles" in Turkish.

If that's a coincidence, that's pretty crazy. "Isles of Islands" still sounds kinda neat, though, even if it doesn't make too much sense.

Needs more motion blur and the FOV pushed higher, I can almost make out what I'm looking at.

Why is the FOV so low?

Jokes. This looks super ambitious, i hope it's good.

Regarding FoV, the devs have already addressed it in the Youtube comments:
Right now we use the full body rig for first person so if we set it closer people will probably complain about the weapons taking too much of the screen, eventually we might have a separate rig for first person that separates the arms and weapons from the body, if we do that we can bring in the fov but then scale down the arms and weapons so that it doesn't look weird

In the videos it was set to 100 we actually dialed it back to 90 as a result of feedback. But yes the option is already there to change it if you want.

Looks like it's on purpose.

Split screen co op basically sells me. As long as it's got the RPG depth but in co op then I'm really impressed. And if it's deeper than that other split screen perma death RPG that I can't quite remember the name, then I'm even more excited.

Looks amazing. Already looks like it has a better combat system than Bethesda has been able to manage in over a decade. Really looking forward to this now.

I'm not sure I would even want to play Skyrim in coop. It seems just not designed for it. I hope they account for that, like for example enemy difficulty/behavior or conversation systems.

Will keep an eye on it. Hopefully in future trailers they tone down the fov though, oof
