Arkane Studios, the gang behind Dishonored and the brand new Prey, tonight introduced their newest game, a first-person shooter trapped in a lethal time loop – therefore the title Deathloop. I imply, I’m assuming it’s a time loop however particulars are actual skinny for now. It’s undoubtedly set in some kind of loop, on a bizarre sci-fi island the place two assassins are perpetually murdering one another. With peeks on the kind of superpowers I’d anticipate from an Arkane game, to not point out a natty spy-fi vibe, the trailer definitely has my curiosity.
“Deathloop transports players to the lawless island of Blackreef in an eternal struggle between two extraordinary assassins,” publishers Bethesda Softworks say of their transient description.” Explore gorgeous environments and meticulously designed ranges in an immersive gameplay expertise that permits you to method each state of affairs any approach you want. Hunt down targets all around the island in an effort to place an finish to the cycle as soon as and for all, and bear in mind, if at first you don’t succeed… die, die once more.”
Normally I’d scoff on the phrase “immersive” however right here I belief it’s a nod to immersive sims.
Time loops are all the fad as of late and rattling, this can be a handsome one. What is it? No concept. But I wish to know. Arkane are one of many few huge studios who’ll take a giant theme and make it a part of how we play moderately than simply dressing so I’m very curious to see the way it works.
No phrase but on when it’s going to launch.
