Big news out of Airship Syndicate! A video was released today during Tenno Con 2022 that announced Airship will be partnering up with WARFRAME developer Digital Extremes for their expertise in creating online words.
Some further details were announced on Airship's new AAA game project; it's an online, character based, third-person action game set in a new and original world. They've also said it will be a free to play (F2P) game with hopes of creating a thriving community and world for people to play in for years to come. As such the title will be online and always evolving.
When asked about the game engine, they are currently developing the game in Unreal Engine 4 (UE4), with plans to migrate it to Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) before the full game releases.
Watch the video of Joe Madureira (CEO of Airship Syndicate), Steve Madureira (Lead Designer), Ryan Stefanelli (President and Game Director), Billy Garretsen (Lead UX Designer) and others talk about the new partnership with Digital Extremes below.
Here are some video screenshots of some interesting things I spotted throughout.
It looks like there are 'heros' you can choose from, similar to Overwatch. Here are some character profile shots on the back screen, as well as some action UI thumbnails.
Here's a UI shot of some weapons and shields, looks to have guns in this universe along with swords, daggers, and axes.
Here are some gameplay screens, showcasing two different characters, a heavily armoured knight with a sword on the top screen and a more lean modern looking character design on the bottom.
In one shot there's some concept at and sketches behind Joe that could be from this game.
Finally, it was announced that the full reveal of this new project will happen at this years Game Awards hosted by Geoff Keighley, which usually airs in December. Looking forward to new details in the months to come!
