“Will we ever see Hollowpoint? Tef seemed rather taken with the game when he previewed it a year ago, let’s hope it will arrive in some shape or form,” said a handsome and beardy writer on TSA over two years ago, when it was announced that Crackdown developers Ruffian had left the project.
Well the answer is yes, the game is back and not looking too different from when we last saw it. However, Paradox Interactive have also left the project and it’s Yorkshire-based studio Red Kite Games who have now acquired the IP.
Hollowpoint’s world is built around scores of procedurally generated levels, each one tied to a formula that, in the most intense missions, culminates with a frenzied boss battle.Not only do the missions that you embark upon impact the power of the different Mega-Corps within this global struggle, but your style of attack and relative relationships with the different organisations can influence the types of assignments sent your way. It’s a dynamic world that can see you bolstering a CEO’s power base in one contract before taking them out under the auspices of a rival in the next.
Hollowpoint is currently scheduled for release on PC, no date has been given.
