Future first got here into our lives in 2014, storming into the hearts of gamers world wide, boasting enjoyable online-only content material and pleasing DLC that helped shoot Bungie’s FPS recreation to stardom. Come 2019, Bungie launched a sequel, Future 2, and quite a few updates and expansions have continued to assist the collection flourish. Many puzzled when Future 3 would launch – properly, we now know what the third recreation is. Future Rising.
Earlier this yr, rumors surrounding a Future cell recreation emerged, and it appears like they have been proper. Licensed by Bungie and developed by NetEase, Geoff Keighly unveiled the sport on X, providing a number of tidbits on what we will count on from the upcoming cell shooter. In a transfer that’s certain to please some gamers, Future Rising isn’t simply an FPS recreation, because it boasts third-person capabilities, too.
Longtime followers of the collection could also be particularly concerned with the truth that this recreation takes place submit Darkish Age period and is in an alternate timeline. Concerning the story, Keighley says, “With the assistance of legendary Iron Lords, humanity has damaged free the shackles of tyranny and started to rally collectively towards the alien forces intent on its extinction. Amidst the chaos of this early age for The Metropolis, a brand new era of Lightbearers, resurrected by mysterious entities often known as Ghosts, got down to restore humanity’s prominence and safe its future.”
A closed alpha check for the multiplayer recreation is because of happen subsequent month, and similar to with the mainline Future video games, you’ll be able to take pleasure in each PvE and PvP content material – ah, the crucible. I don’t assume a multiplayer area has ever humbled me so shortly in my life, however I grew to find it irresistible and hope to see it within the cell recreation. There’s additionally a full marketing campaign so that you can take pleasure in, and I believe it’s honest to say you’ll be able to full that solo or with mates, as is the case within the different two video games.
Whereas we don’t know a lot else about Future Rising, it’s nice to see such a beloved franchise leap to the small display screen. I like Name of Obligation. Black Ops being playable on cell at launch is a big win, however after years of expertise with COD Cellular, it’s time for one more shooter to enter the sphere.
