As reported by Insider Gaming, 37 idea artwork and blueprint photographs have been uploaded to Imgur (which had been initially posted by Slipgate Ironworks’ artwork director Eric Arroyo on ArtStation) that seemingly level to an unannounced Escape from New York sport. There are no particulars pertaining to the sport, which is supposedly in improvement at Graven developer Slipgate Ironworks, however varied enemy sorts are featured together with one piece of idea artwork that appears to be portraying three hero characters circled by a horde of ‘Crazies’ — might we be seeing a brand new co-op contender for a spot in our listing of the finest first-person shooters on Xbox? Slipgate’s web site says it has an upcoming title to announce, so hopefully, we’ll be taught extra later this yr.
Escape from New York online game seems to be to be in improvement
Escape from New York is a sci-fi motion movie set in a fictional model of 1997, the place the island of Manhattan has been became a maximum-security jail. After the president’s airplane, Air Force One, is hijacked and intentionally crashed into the island, ex-soldier and federal prisoner Snake Plissken, performed by Kurt Russell, is given 24 hours to battle his what via the jail to search out and rescue the President.
It’s a improbable film and one I’d like to see became a online game. While I definitely get pleasure from co-op shooters and asymmetrical multiplayer video games — genres with an abundance of movie adaptions at this level — I’d a lot choose to play as Snake in a single-player story-driven sport; I would not say no to a co-op accomplice becoming a member of me for the journey although! Of course, whereas I hope an Escape from New York sport is in improvement, I’d additionally counsel you are taking this with a pinch of salt. Seeing as the pictures seem to come back from a Slipgate developer who would probably have signed a non-disclosure settlement, these may very well be a part of a pitch that was in the end shot down or canceled whereas in improvement.
Everything we find out about Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 from Saber Interactive factors to the sport dropping multiplayer for a co-op story-driven expertise. Irongate Softworks joined Saber again in 2021, so this is hoping the Escape from New York group takes the identical method as their colleagues.
