Opus Major, a Paris-based studio founded by seasoned professionals from Ubisoft and other notable gaming companies, has unveiled its ambitious project, MAJJAM. This massively multiplayer online player-versus-environment musical adventure game is currently in early development and is set to launch on PC via Steam. Interested players can register for an upcoming playtest through the official website.
In a recent press release, Opus Major’s founders, Pierre-Armand Nicq and Jean-Nicolas Vernin, expressed their vision: “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.”
About MAJJAM
MAJJAM is designed to bring the rhythm of the world to life, allowing players to immerse themselves in a vibrant co-op adventure where music is the driving force behind gameplay. From movement and combat to exploration and interaction, the game encourages players to harness their creativity in a manner reminiscent of a live jam session. Players will build an arsenal of melodies, rhythms, and harmonies as they navigate a colorful and ever-evolving world.
Within the lively realm of MAJJAM, players interact with one another and their environment primarily through rhythm and melodies. Music serves as the lifeblood of this universe, providing the energy needed to combat a corruptive force known as Kode—a dark presence that spreads fog tides where silence reigns. Players will utilize musical energy by “Jamming,” combining their character’s unique abilities and instruments with those of their allies to defeat adversaries, solve puzzles, and reshape their surroundings.
The Jamming mechanic allows all players to express their musicality, regardless of their instrumental expertise. This inclusive approach ensures that everyone can participate in the game’s musical journey. Jamming not only serves as a means to fend off Kode but also opens pathways for exploration and puzzle-solving.
Each character possesses a special Jam ability that is enhanced by a system of musical powers, which players can unlock, collect, and store throughout their adventure. These abilities deepen the player’s connection to the world and expand their skill set.
