Dreadnought is an upcoming combat flight simulator for Microsoft Windows developed by Yager Development and published by Grey Box with Six Foot.[2] The first previews were shown in 2014; it is set to be released in 2017.[3] Dreadnought entered closed beta on April 29, 2016. On December 03, 2016 at the PlayStation Experience, it was revealed to be available for the PlayStation 4 as well. [4]
Gameplay
The player is the captain of a large spacecraft and uses projectile weapons to attack. The player is able to choose between several classes of ships, each with drawbacks and advantages in categories like speed and size. The ships are massive and are intended to give the feel of being a commander, not a rogue bounty hunter. As a result, gameplay involves large amounts of strategy and positioning. In addition to positioning the ship and choosing targets, the player may also allocate power to various parts of the ship, strengthening some while weakening others. These areas include shields, weapons and engines.[3]
Multiplayer
In multiplayer, coordinated attacks and focus fire are important. Other players may choose to heal a damaged teammate. Matches last around ten minutes and players may switch ship classes after death.[5]
