By Majjam marks the debut title from the newly-established studio Opus Major, and it presents an exhilarating multiplayer adventure experience that depends entirely on music to facilitate its gameplay. From the manner in which you navigate the environment and engage in battles to how you explore and interact, Majjam draws inspiration from “live jam” sessions—where musicians convene with their instruments and voices for an unscripted musical collaboration.
Majjam is characterized as a cooperative multiplayer adventure and MMO, enabling you to employ your very own rhythms, melodies, and harmonies to unite in the effort of saving the world around you. Music, regarded as the world’s lifeblood, is the sole force preventing the malevolent element known as Kodé from wreaking havoc. Kodé is a sinister entity fostering decay and silence through a foreboding mist.
By collaborating, you and your companions will channel musical energy through jams, utilizing your characters’ distinctive abilities and instruments to unravel puzzles, vanquish foes, and ultimately save the world.
Although Majjam hinges on music and creativity for advancement, Opus asserts that “no instrumental proficiency” is needed to engage in gameplay. You’ll uncover additional musical abilities as you advance, with each possessing a unique power that will unveil the true potential of the world.
Commenting on the announcement, Opus Major founders Pierre-Armand Nicq and Jean-Nicolas Vernin stated, “Our team’s aspiration is to unite the world in a jam. In music, a jam represents a suspended moment—a collective energy among friends, strangers, and other fervent spirits who are simply present. You may not know each other, but for a few enchanting, spontaneous moments, you resonate together. It’s the same spark you occasionally experience in a multiplayer game. Our vision is to collate all these joyous instances into one unified, shared encounter.”
Majjam will launch a closed alpha playtest this September. Opus acknowledges that the initial version of the game will be “imperfect,” but it prioritizes player feedback. “We’re inviting players not only to evaluate the game but to aid us in its development over the upcoming months,” it remarked. To participate in the closed alpha test, you can register on the Majjam website. It is also available for wishlisting on Steam.
