Prime World // Interview with Nival // Lyrical Ones

At the E3 gaming expo, Cross Allan from Lyrical Opposition interviewed developers from the Russian game studio Nival about their upcoming multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game, Prime World.

Prime World blends the strategic gameplay of the popular MOBA genre with a fantastical world inspired by classic folklore and mythology. Players assemble a team of heroes pulled from myths and legends to battle against opposing forces.

During the interview, Cross Allan asked the Nival developers about the challenges of creating a new IP and universe to build a MOBA game around. They discussed the process of adapting iconic fairy tales into playable hero characters with unique abilities.

The developers explained how Prime World sets itself apart with innovative gameplay mechanics like destructible environments that can alter the battlefield landscape mid-match. They highlighted the dedicated esports features being built in to support competitive MOBA play.

The interview allowed the lesser-known Nival studio to generate buzz for Prime World ahead of its launch in the crowded MOBA market. It spotlighted their efforts to put a fresh spin on the genre while tapping into rich narrative traditions.
