A 14-year-old MMO is getting spun off into an "adrenaline-fueled" action RPG that has you battle furry hunks

Vindictus, the MMO that’s been chugging along for 14 years, is getting a single-player spin-off.
Retaining the MMO’s snappier spirit, Nexon just recently announced a new action game set in the same universe, Vindictus: Defying Fate, which shares “familiar characters, NPCs, region names, monsters, and certain outfits.” Though, this time, it’s a solo adventure. The MMO is largely focused on PvE content anyway, so this is a more natural transition than one might expect.
Defying Fate’s reveal trailer serves as more of a mood piece, rather than an intro to this world, but seeing our main hero engage in beatdowns against furry, chunky beasts is all I really needed. Combat looks heavy and fluid, the enemies look ferocious, and the world looks genuinely gorgeous if a little overfamiliar.
Vindictus: Defying Fate has no release date thus far, but it will launch on PC and consoles. In the meantime, you can familiarize yourself with its older online sibling over onSteam.
