I really liked the aesathetic of the original launch. I liked that it looked kind of open world with bosses. The original trailer showed, I think, a big spider robot and the player jumping off a trampoline (am I remembering right?) to get above the thing while fighting. Overall it looked cool, but I wasn't sure what the gameplay loop as going to be. Switching to an extraction shooter gives the game a known loop to build off of, but my worry is it'll be a much slower and less action-packed game, and will lose some of the fun mechanics in place of a more tactical survival experience. Hopefully it works out, but I liked the original concept.

Looks like it's going to be baking for at least another year or so. Maybe Spring 2026.
Looks interesting though. a PVP style destiny open world?
It's like Escape From Tarkov, but sci-fi and third person.
Says 2025. They just did a playtest in September or October, so I wouldn't be surprised if it got released not long from now in early access.
