Taking on a new tactic in the realm of third-person multiplayer, Bethesda's newest game, BattleCry (from indie developers of the same name), has us pretty excited. This week we were treated to a theatrical launch trailer that demonstrates how this new take on a solid formula has gamers enthralled and in high anticipation for the early 2015 release date.
Here is the official synopsis of this 32-player online team action game:
Following a cataclysmic world war at the dawn of the 20th century, the most powerful Empires left standing came together to ban gun powder under The Black Powder Treaty. The short peace that followed gave birth to the Pansophic Revolution - a golden age of industrial manufacturing and design. As technology advanced, old tensions reignited and soon the world faced the scourge of war once more. Fueled by technological Pansophic advancements, the face of warfare has changed. All disagreements are settled head-on by elite teams of chosen warriors from all over the world, with each member specializing in either high-tech ranged gadgetry or sophisticated melee weapons. Trained and bred for battle, they meet each other in sanctioned WarZones to face off for their share of glory.
In a world without guns or gunpowder, weapons become more creative and almost steampunk in a way. Check out the launch trailer for BattleCry right here:
