Raiders of the Broken Planet is an upcoming online action video game by Spanish studio MercurySteam. It is set to be released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2016.
Story
Raiders of the Broken Planet is set in the constellation of Lira, light years from Earth. Today, this planet has become the hideout of mafia space. And who controls the Aleph control the galaxy. Players must protect the Aleph and repel the aliens, using other "Raiders", or rather fight alongside the enemy threat to take possession of the precious liquid.[1]
Gameplay
Raiders of the Broken Planet is an asymmetric online adventure game. There are gameplay elements which task the players to shoot and brawl and utilize strategy. A story mode, which will be released episodically, is also planned.[2]
Development
Development for the game had already begun before the release of MercurySteam's last game, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. Dave Cox, the producer of the Castlevania franchise, revealed that some of the abandoned gameplay elements for Lords of Shadow 2, such as the combat mechanics, may be featured in the company's next game.[3] In March 2016, Cox announced that his partnership with MercurySteam and that the company was working on a new game with a sci-fi setting. Eric Alvarez, the head of MercurySteam, further described the project as one of the company's most "ambitious" titles.[4] The game was teased by MercurySteam multiple times before it was officially announced in April 2016.[5] Mercury Steam is set to self-publish Raiders of the Broken Planet for Microsoft Windows, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in 2016. A beta test for the Windows version is set to be held before the game's official release.[6]
