MAJJAM, the debut game by the recently announced Opus Major, has been revealed.
Created by a team of seasoned developers, this co-op adventure is inspired by the vibrant community of a live jam session, and music shapes every aspect of the gameplay. Take a look at the reveal trailer below:
In the world of MAJJAM, players interact with each other and the wider world through rhythm and melodies. Music is the life force that holds the world together, and is the only defence against the dark energy known as Kodé. As the player, you’ll harness musical energy by Jamming, combining unique abilities and instruments alongside your allies to defeat enemies and solve puzzles.
You don’t need any musical experience to start Jamming in MAJJAM, the studio wanted to give everyone the opportunity to make music. It’s also not a rhythm game, it focuses on the communal aspect of jamming and emphasises expression and creation so don’t worry if your internal metronome is a bit rusty.
Each character has a special Jam ability that’s augmented by a system of musical abilities that players will need to find, unlock and store throughout the game. By combining their musical expressions with others, players can reshape part of the world around them, unlocking new areas, discovering powerful melodies, and encountering surprising obstacles.
Speaking on the announcement, the founders of Opus Major, Pierre-Armand Nicq and Jean-Nicolas Vernin shared the following:
“Our team’s dream is to make the world jam together.
In music, a jam is a suspended moment — a shared energy between friends, strangers, and other passionate souls who just happen to be there. You might not know each other, but for a few magical, spontaneous moments, you vibe together.
It’s that same spark you sometimes feel in a multiplayer game.
Our dream is to bring all these joyful moments together into one single, shared experience.”
