Bigpoint promises intense MOBA action in a unique multiverse.

Bigpoint has announced the release of Shards of War, an exciting new game claiming to be the world's first science fiction oriented MOBA. Pre-registration is open, and the beta phase will start soon as a free-to-play client game.

Shards of War is a new twist on the traditional MOBA game mode. Classic MOBA strategy has been fused with the speed and WASD style controls of top down shooters to create a unique PvP experience with both tactical depth and fast paced action. Two teams of five compete against each other in 20-minute matches, fighting to dominate the other team and destroy their headquarters. At launch, there will be ten unique sentinels available for players to choose from, each of which is a specialist in their field: attack, support or tank.

The sci-fi premise is tantalizing: in the future, scientists discover how to open gates to parallel worlds, proving that several alternate versions of earth exist. This new portal technology has created a crossroads of disparate universes on Earth and plunged humanity into a state of chaos.
