Det var under gårdagskvällens event som nygrundade studion Antistatic för första gången visade upp sitt kommande PvE-actionspel Phantom Line som primärt utvecklas av veteraner från Bioshock-studion Irrational samt en av producenterna bakom Cyberpunk 2077. Spelet rullas ut till PC nästa år och verkar blanda mardrömssekvenser med Alan Wake-känsla med brunbjörnsfighting uppe i en tät barrskog.
Saxat ur den officiella pressreleasen:
"PHANTOM LINE is a co-op (1-4) shooter set in the post-nuclear European continent. Your mission is to search and contain anomalies - paranormal activity hidden from the public eye, in an open world map full of dynamic events.
THE OPERATOR - You are in an elite spec-op unit, working for Mortfield Industries, a megacorp that gave you a second chance. You've been selected for the Operator Simulation Program called H.U.S.K., where you can transfer your consciousness between artificial bodies. Use H.U.S.K.s in your tactics: scout, distract, decoy, or utilize many other strategies and commands to gain an advantage over anything in the way.
ANOMALIES - Hidden from the public, our world is full of paranormal creatures and phenomena dubbed "anomalies." Leaking into our world through rifts in the space-time fabric, these threats to humanity grow each day. Containing these extremely dangerous events requires the most elite Operators.
BASE UPGRADES - The Icebreaker ship, with a nuclear engine, will be your base of operations. Customize your H.U.S.K. and cabin, showcase your weapons and armors to your friends, modify your gear and body. Get briefed on a main deck for your next anomaly hunt.
WORLD - Nuclear war has just broken out, and you are sent to the disputed Iron Corridor - an Eastern European region torn by international tensions. Operators need to be self-sufficient should they become cut off. Improvise as necessary: use any resources available, gear up, and adjust your tactics to the situation on the ground. Hunt and cook the wild animals to maintain optimal health.
Humanity is at war - to fight the anomalous horror you must turn into one yourself. Wield the H.U.S.K.s for the cause. Gather and upgrade your body with Quintessence, a substance you get after containing anomalies. Become the ultimate anomaly hunter. Go die again."
