DokeV Release Date | When is the creature collecting MMO releasing?

One of the big games that Pearl Abyss is working on is called DokeV. Unlike its biggest successes to date, and also the only games yet released from the studio – Black Desert Online and Black Desert Mobile – DokeV is a family friendly open world action adventure. Initially revealed as an MMO, it took a turn during development. Aiming for a casual gameplay that both adults and kids can enjoy, this cute game follows the creature collecting template set by Pokemon. But what is the DokeV release date?

DokeV Release Date and Platforms

DokeV was officially revealed in November 2019 with a stunning trailer comprised of in-game footage, alongside the MMORPG Crimson Desert and  shooter Plan 8. It's as cute as it can get, with kids running around an open world city and wearing their glasses to see the magical creatures known as Dokebi.

Running on Pearl Abyss' new proprietary engine, DokeV has all the makings of a next-generation game. The first DokeV gameplay footage released included a lovely night scene, with a car zooming by and a few bystanders looking around under a bit of rain.

Pearl Abyss has revealed that the DokeV platforms are PC and consoles mainly, which we're assuming means PS4 and Xbox One. However, considering that the official release may happen during 2021, PS5 and Xbox Scarlett releases are not to be excluded. Another interesting bit of info is that DokeV was initially conceived as a game for mobile devices, but the plan changed along the way. However, a DokeV mobile release is still under consideration.

With that being said, Pearl Abyss has stated that a DokeV beta test is slated for 2020, but that didn't happen. With the Gamescom 2021 gameplay reveal, a DokeV release date for 2022 seems to be the realistic plan, after the usual round of testing and polishing.

To register for the beta and updates, you just have to go to the official website and sign up.
