Indie publisher Devolver Digital (Hotline Miami, Serious Sam) has just announced what seems to be a highly original title called Absolver. It is developed by Sloclap, mainly consisting of ex-Ubisoft staff who decided to start their very own studio and create a genre mashup between fighting, action and online RPG.

Sloclap describes their game as "a kick-ass online action game, with visceral martial arts style combat [set] in a fantasy world, in which players meet each other seamlessly during their travels".

On the American Playstation blog we can read that a "new story unfolds at each encounter: what are the other's intentions? Will we fight to the death or become allies, trading weapons and teaching each other new attacks?"

Below is the first trailer and screens, the launch is expected sometime next year for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
