Funcom afslører Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden

Funcom har, efter nogle lidt hårdt år, opnået stor succes med udgivelsen af Conan Exiles, og nu leder de efter at fortstætte successen via et samarbejde med udvikleren Bearded Ladies. Spillet hedder Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, og det er et nyt taktisk rollespil, der kombinerer Xcom: Enemy Unknown med fantasy-elementer.

Spillet er netop blevet afsløret via en pressemeddelelse, og udkommer på PC, PS4 og Xbox One senere på året. Her spiller du som et hold af antropomorfiske dyr, deriblandt en gris og en and. Det klassiske turbaserede kampsystem kombineres med masser af udforskning og snigeri.

"Of course the world ends, it was just a question of time. Extreme climate change, global economic crisis, a lethal pandemic, and increasing tension between old and new superpowers. For the first time since 1945 nuclear weapons were used in armed conflict. Mushroom clouds rose from east to west before the dust settled. The humans are gone. The Mutants are here.
The game, which is being developed by Bearded Ladies and published by Funcom, is set to release in 2018 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Players must take control of a team of unlikely heroes, such as Dux (a crossbow-wielding, walking, talking duck) and Bormin (a boar with serious anger issues), and help them navigate a post-human Earth with its abandoned cities, crumbling highways, and mutated monsters on every corner. The ultimate goal: save yourselves by finding the legendary Eden," siger pressemeddelelsen.
