Creative Assembly is best known as the developer of the Total War games, but they also made the excellent survival horror game Alien: Isolation, and we’ve known for a long time that the team behind it is growing and working on something more. a science fiction multiplayer. fi shooter Today, finally, his project is revealed: it is called “Hyenas”.
“Another multiplayer shooter” you might say, but Hyenas is a bit different. First, teams of three compete not to be last, but to steal a flashy tattoo from the world’s baddest billionaires.
“Billionaires have finally made it to Mars, leaving Earth and those tax bills behind,” says Creative Assembly. “The zero-gravity technology that powered them destroyed our planet, leaving us adrift in a slum called Corruption. The only thing the rich care about is the scarce good, the pop cultural treasures of the lives we leave behind, which they mine from the rubble to furnish their Martian mansions. It’s time for us to get it back.”
As a trio, they battle NPC-hired thugs and other player-controlled hyena teams over the extravagant contents of loot ships: giant floating shopping malls that the ultra-rich use to display their evil artifacts acquired from ancient planet Earth, including Pez. dispensers, SEGA Mega Drives and Panini football sticker albums.
The maps are designed like giant sandboxes with alarm systems, traps, and pockets of billionaire bodyguards that you must kill and use. The pacing is described as “impressively fast” and each loot ship has zero-gravity sections, meaning wall-running, vertical movement, and aerial combat can all come into play. Exfiltration Battle Royale in games like Escape from Tarkov.
“We believe that the key to the success of today’s shooters is understanding what players want to see and where they want to experience it,” says Hyenas Executive Producer David Nicholson. To take on the biggest games in the industry, we need to know what players think beforehand. If you are in the business, we want to take you on a journey.”
All of that sounds pretty appealing, especially in today’s world where the exploits of Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and others make you want to turn off the internet and throw the TV out a closed window.
Hyenas is expected to launch on PC in 2023. Creative Assembly also wants your feedback before then and has already opened registrations for the first closed alpha test. You can go right there and write your name.
If that means beating Elon Musk, we’re definitely in.
