We simply revealed our latest sport, [Redacted], throughout Xbox’s Gamescom livestream.
Coming to Xbox Collection X|S this Halloween, our new sport is a fast-action roguelike set in Black Iron, a futuristic jail situated on Jupiter’s icy moon, Callisto, filled with attention-grabbing methods to die. Evolve with every loss of life in an easy-to-play, fun-to-master run-and-gun battle by a penitentiary filled with monstrous enemies and unpredictable challenges. As a modest jail guard your job is straightforward – get to the final escape pod alive.
However getting there’s something however straightforward. Your each transfer is tracked by an agent of a mysterious group, and also you aren’t the one survivor trying to escape – solely one in all you may make it off the moon – ensure it’s you!
It was a blast to lastly present the sport off and let everybody see what the workforce at Putting Distance is cooking up. Even after the prolonged time displaying off [REDACTED] throughout the present, there’s nonetheless quite a bit to speak about – not least the Rivals roaming Black Iron…
[Redacted]’s Rivals are survivors of a mysterious viral outbreak on the penitentiary – they’re individuals who managed to principally keep away from the an infection and being mangled by the monsters now calling the jail “dwelling.”
Once we first began desirous about the survivors-turned-Rivals, our first ideas have been, “What sort of psychopaths and weirdos would survive a horrific viral outbreak?” and, “What would they do to get to the final escape pod?”
The brief reply is “a various solid of psychopaths and weirdos who will fortunately stroll over your corpse to flee the jail.”
Within the trailer, we confirmed three of these rivals, Sark – a gangster and everlasting “resident” of the jail – Liz, the jail’s “chef,” and Don, a custodial technician with a penchant for violence.
Such as you, and all the opposite survivors in [Redacted], Sark, Liz, and Don are racing towards the final escape pod and the comparative security of outer area. And it is a race. Fall too far behind and one in all your rivals will strand you with the jail’s monsters. “I’ll simply kill issues quick,” you say. Certain, but it surely’s not that straightforward.
Rivals use the jail’s safety programs to make life, and residing, tougher – flooding rooms with poisoned gasoline, leaving ticking time bombs so that you can disarm, and turning out the lights, forcing you to hunt your enemies by flashlight, are only a few of the numerous methods they are going to assault you remotely.
If that weren’t sufficient, you’re at all times predator and prey. If you happen to catch as much as a rival, or they catch as much as you, there’s going to be a struggle – and it gained’t be a stroll within the park. Every rival has highly effective customized weapons and a deadly array of expertise and powers to place you within the dust.
As deadly because the Rivals are, you’re no pushover both. As a guard, you have got entry to the identical safety programs and may use them to remotely decelerate your Rivals’ mad sprint to the escape pod, make them extra susceptible throughout a one-on-one struggle, or deal direct injury. As you progress, you should buy more and more highly effective distant assaults to deal much more injury, dramatically improve vulnerability or outright cease your rivals of their tracks by hacking the safety system.
And that’s earlier than you unlock and improve an enormous array of expertise, weapons and fits and earn highly effective experiments and schematics throughout your run.
As you play, you un-redact your Rivals’ recordsdata, unlocking their weapons and disguises, every with their very own distinctive upgrades. And, when you totally un-redact a Rival’s file, you get a particular passcode. Get all of the passcodes to entry a particular door for an excellent larger problem and larger reward. We’re retaining the small print on that secret for now, however keep tuned!
The workforce at Putting Distance Studios can’t watch for Xbox gamers to get their palms on [Redacted] this Halloween, October 31, 2024.
