Creativity asked

We started out at Embark Studios three years ago as a blank canvas with some big ideas. Today the canvas is not so empty and these ideas are becoming a reality.

With the new trailer, the studio wants to give players an impression of what the title feels like. An exact release date is not yet known. So far we only know that the shooter awaits us next year.
