The graphics seem familiar...

Honestly curious based on viewing the trailer, but all the armor and weapons (not to mention that lovable Zarya cosplaying character) seem like direct "imitation is the best form of flattery" rip-offs of World of Warcraft armor and weapons. I smell a lawsuit.

Lmao, the game looks nothing like WoW. Are you going to call all stylized games a wow copy? Absolute L take. And a muscular woman character is somehow a zarya clone? I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about.

The game has some issues, copying wow ain't even remotely one of them.

Certain Art and characters looks are straight up rip off from other games. No, not stolen, just very similar. I would not be surprised if its AI generated or Art department "taking" inspirations from other games to cut the development time.

Some mobile games do that and due to copyrights forced to change the appearance of the characters or any other art in the game at later date.

These who play Early Access games on mobile knows what I am talking about.

Am I crazy when I say that I feel the art and visuals look really close to Dauntless but updated and polished?

It's a mix of different artstyles ranging from wildstar to wow to Darksiders like someone mentioned earlier. I think the artists brought enough in to not count as plagiarising
