Raiders Of The Broken Planet Announced For PC & Consoles

Mercurysteam have announced a new game, Raiders Of The Broken Planet, for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It’s a multiplayer game with 3 vs. 1 battles, and it will have a single player campaign, and.. that’s it. Sorry. Apparently press releases have been sent out but we’ve not got one, and neither has anyone else by the looks of it.

I can tell you there will be a beta, and you sign up for it, whatever it is, here.  We will update this story when we get more info

UPDATE: Hurrah, the press release arrived, doesn’t tell us much though. What I can tell you is that the images on the beta sign up include a cigar smoking male thug and (sigh) a lady in a catsuit with cleavage you could ski down. Anyway, here’s the press release in full, because it’s Friday and I want to leave the office on time.

Raiders of the Broken Planet is a Multiplayer Online Asymmetric Adventure: Fight the invaders teaming up with other Raiders, or turn the tables and storm into battle with those invaders  fighting at your side!

With its distinctive blend of shooting, brawling and thinking man’s strategy,Raiders of the Broken Planet is a mouth watering proposition to gamers looking for an immersive, cinematic story coupled with intense and epic action.

MercurySteam is also announcing that it will be self-publishing the game as an independent for the first time. The powerful story driven narrative will be delivered episodically, with each part selling at an extremely low and attractive price point. A company spokesman commented “We saw an exciting opportunity with this title to take advantage of digital distribution and offer the game at a much lower entry point than would otherwise have been possible. This model also allows us to work closely with gamers to create something that they can help shape too.”

With this in mind, the company is planning multiple beta programs where players can get in early and help drive the games development. The new teaser site launched today allows players eager to get involved to sign up for the forthcoming beta program and find out the latest information on the games development.
