Planet Cyrene

Planet Cyrene is a planet of the Entropia Universe being developed by the Los Angeles based game development studio Digital Scryers LLC[1] in cooperation with CKA Chiang Mai Co. Ltd[2] for the official planet partner Creative Kingdom Inc.[3][4][5]

Planet Cyrene Setting

Cyrene features a genre mix of science fiction and fantasy. Shamanistic natives and robot invaders are fighting each other.[7]
Concept art, models and preview screenshots suggest that besides robots and humanoids Cyrene is inhabited by aquatic, bug-like and other creatures.
You also can find images of a tree city and an ancient Rome style city called Janus as well as futuristic looking places with flying properties. Accordingly you can spot vehicles like a classic sailing ship as well as space ships.
It is not known whether the name 'Cyrene' is related to Cyrene known from Greek mythology.


Planet Cyrene Gameplay

As the game mechanics are preset by the Entropia Universe platform the gameplay is not expected to differ much from what is known from the existing planets Calypso and ROCKtropia.
According to statements by Ed Robles -creative director for Planet Cyrene and head of Digital Scryers- on the Planet Cyrene Facebook group one focus will be missions embedded in elaborated storylines.[8]
Preview screenshots are showing laser guns as well as fantasy style melee weapons. From the numerous vehicles shown on the screenshots one could conclude that Planet Cyrene will make use of the upcoming vehicles system.
One of the screenshots showing animals in stables suggests that there will be pets/taming on Planet Cyrene.
