Take twelve people who find themselves good at leaping, drop them right into a zombie-infested metropolis, and switch them unfastened to loot, stage up, and homicide one another till one emerges triumphant. That’s Dying Light: Bad Blood, an upcoming multiplayer standalone spin-off from Techland’s parkour-o-zombsmashing shooter sequence. Y’know, it’s a Battle Royale/Hunger Games-ish doodad, as is the model of the time. But on a smaller scale, and with plenty of NPC zombies to homicide too. Techland right now introduced that Bad Blood will enter paid early entry in September then correctly launch as a free-to-play game after a couple of months.
Techland first announced Bad Blood as a six-player standalone enlargement in 2017, although it appears to have modified somewhat and be offered extra as a game of its personal now.
Dying Light: Bad Blood will drop twelve gamers into town to assemble samples from deadheads. Along the way in which they loot objects, stage up, and perhaps homicide one another. Players want samples for the chopper pilot to return choose ’em up, see, so you may collect them or take them off different gamers who’ve performed the legwork. And the pilot will solely accumulate one particular person, as a result of causes, so homicide will at all times occur.
It’s sounds prefer it’s of that new wave of battlers royale which draw some inspiration from the recent development, certain, however take that in their very own route into their very own game. I’ll be curious to see how that works in follow. Though as somebody who largely battles royale in squads to hang around with the laaads, 12-player could be a bit small for me. But that’s as a result of it’s attempting to do one thing a bit completely different, which is nice.
The plan is for Dying Light: Bad Blood to hit Steam Early Access in September, charging $19.99 for early admission whereas providing beauty doodads and virtuacash in return. Techland count on it’ll be in early entry for 4-6 months whereas they broaden and tweak it, then it would launch free-to-play in late 2018 or early 2019. You can join on the game’s site for checks previous all that.
Do keep in mind that Techland are additionally engaged on Dying Light 2, which appeared fairly promising when our Brendy saw it during E3 in June.
The greatest look we’ve had at Bad Blood thus far got here from this pre-alpha peek on the Ian Games Network in March 2018, by which the game appears fairly unhealthy. But hey, months-old pre-alpha and all that.
