Project Ethos has been announced by 2K
2K have done something weird, they have announced a new free-to-play, 3rd-person roguelike hero shooter, by their newest studio 31st Union.
Why they have decided to make another 3rd person free to play shooter, honestly who can say. There has been no officially released gameplay by 2K, we have seen some footage, but it just looks like Fortnite.
So what is the game all about? All we can say is what 2K have sent in their press release.
A ROGUELIKE HERO SHOOTER – Shape your playstyle every match through Evolutions, powerful, semi-randomised, upgrades unique to each hero. Evolve a sniper into a close-range skirmisher, or a support role into a powerful lone wolf. Build your hero in real-time to suit your personal playstyle.
SIGNATURE EXTRACTION MODE – Drop into Trials, an ongoing, persistent fight to collect cores, extract, and unlock powerful Augments which fuel your future Trials runs.
BUILD YOUR PERFECT RUN, OR DIE TRYING – Discover new levels of mastery across every run as you take on the competition with new abilities, stakes, and challenges that change every match. With the clock ticking, do you safely extract with your hard-earned cores, or go big, risk it all, and see if you and your team can earn top ranking. The choice is yours.
With all that, when can you play it, well you can’t. The game is going into a community playtest this weekend, but only for United States, Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain and Italy.
