New, Single-World Sandbox MMO DreamWorld Coming To Steam Early Access

A new, open-world sandbox MMO is getting ready to make its debut via Early Access on Steam. Described as a “next-generation Sandbox MMO”, Dreamworld (Developed by DreamWorld Realities Inc.) is an MMO built to allow all players to exist in “a single, infinite, fully shared world”. That means that there are no servers, worlds, or shards – anything that generally breaks an MMO’s community up into smaller communities.

According to the press release, it’s built on Unreal Engine 5 and is “designed as a creator-driven platform”. It features a building system that allows players to build pretty much anything they can think of, ranging from fortresses to mini-games to cities. The game also features an AI text-to-3D model generation system that allows for the creation of custom structures.

As you’d expect from an open-world MMO, DreamWorld features biomes where players can collect the resources they need for their projects, as well as craft weapons and spells, among other things. Players can also expect a variety of options when it comes to getting around in the game’s world, including flying, diving, and mounts.

For those interested, the devs and their partner MARBLEX, a subsidiary of Netmarble, have entered DreamWorld as one of the games taking part in Steam Next Fest on February 23. At that point, players can try out the game for free. As for whether it will be fully free-to-play or not, it is listed as such on Steam. However, when I inquired, I'd been told that monetization hasn’t been decided on as of yet and that players can likely expect premium founder's packs for Early Access. So, be aware that the status may change.
