Yager, the renowned makers of one of the best story-driven video games of all time
Spec Ops: The Line (and also
Dead Island 2, but their vision of the project was canceled in 2016), has released a brand new trailer for
The Cycle at this year's GDC, featuring plenty of never-before-seen gameplay footage.
Unlike Yager's previous offerings,
The Cycle is a multilayer-focused title with up to 20 players landing on the surface of the planet Fortuna III to battle alien monsters and gather resources. According to the devs, the cycles are "
world-spanning storms that kill anything dumb enough to set foot planetside and these storms are happening more often than not," so aliens won't even be your biggest problem.
The Cycle is in the alpha phase, but you will have a chance to test the online shooter's latest build from March 28 4pm CET -to March 31 9am CET, only on PC. Yager is the next studio that has decided to jump on the Epic Games Store bandwagon, so you won't be able to purchase
The Cycle on Steam or GOG.
Be sure to take a closer look at the deadly world of
The Cycle in the gameplay trailer down below:
The Cycle is a competitive match-based first person quester, from the makers of Spec Ops: The Line. On Fortuna III you compete against other Prospectors or collaborate with them to claim as much resources as possible and escape before the planet crushes the life out of you. In The Cycle the explored galaxy is controlled by massive Factions, but the mysterious outer reaches are still up for grabs. In their race to control these frontier resources, the Factions need contractors to do their dirty work. You are one of these contractors, competing for objectives such as collecting minerals or hunting wildlife while being careful to avoid or take down the competition.
The Cycle is coming to PC in 2019; planned for release on consoles at a later date.
