Leave that for those really high fantasy games. I like New World’s mix between real life and mythology and superstition.

  1. Unique Gameplay Mechanics: Hippos are known for their size, strength, and territorial nature. Introducing them to New World could provide new challenges and gameplay mechanics. For example, players could engage in thrilling battles with hippos, compete for control over territory, or even tame them as formidable pets or mounts.

  2. Rich Ecosystem: Adding hippos to the game would contribute to a more diverse and realistic ecosystem. In the real world, hippos play a crucial role in maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems by controlling vegetation and serving as prey for predators like crocodiles. Their presence in New World could encourage players to think more deeply about the interconnectedness of the game’s environment.

  3. Educational Opportunities: Introducing hippos to New World could foster increased awareness about these fascinating creatures, their habitats, and the conservation challenges they face. By offering players the opportunity to learn about hippos through quests or in-game information, you can promote a deeper understanding and appreciation for these animals and their importance to our planet.

  4. Player Engagement: Hippos could become a beloved part of the New World community, inspiring fan art, in-game events, and even new items or customization options. The inclusion of hippos would undoubtedly excite both existing and prospective players, generating buzz and driving further interest in the game.
