Vela Games, a brand new studio founded by former Riot Games and EA veterans, has opened sign-ups for early alpha testing of its first title. 

Project-V, which is the current working title, is a brand new IP set in a science-fantasy universe that will feature an evolving narrative and setting. It will combine MMO-style dungeons with the teamplay skill-mastery of MOBAs such as League of Legends. 

Vela Games are aiming to reimagine multiplayer gaming by rebuilding co-op play from the ground up, and are approaching the project from a unique angle, combining co-op and MMO gameplay to form a new genre they're calling MOCO (Multiplayer Online Co-Op). 

George said, "It’s still early days for Project-V, but we’re thrilled to offer a sneak peek at a few of our characters, and let a small pool of players test out what we’ve been working on as soon as possible. At Vela we value our player-focused approach to design. At the start of each day we all get together to play the game and share feedback as a group, so we’re excited to see what our first players have to add to the conversation."
