Future first got here into our lives in 2014, storming into the hearts of gamers all over the world, boasting enjoyable online-only content material and pleasant 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 sequence flourish. Many questioned when Future 3 would launch – nicely, we now know what the third recreation is. Future Rising.
Earlier this yr, rumors surrounding a Future cellular recreation emerged, and it seems like they have been proper. Licensed by Bungie and developed by NetEase, Geoff Keighly unveiled the sport on X, providing a couple of tidbits on what we are able to anticipate from the upcoming cellular shooter. In a transfer that’s positive to please some gamers, Future Rising isn’t simply an FPS recreation, because it boasts third-person capabilities, too.
Longtime followers of the sequence could also be particularly interested by the truth that this recreation takes place publish 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 in opposition to 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 generally known as Ghosts, got down to restore humanity’s prominence and safe its future.”
A closed alpha take a look at for the multiplayer recreation is because of happen subsequent month, and identical to with the mainline Future video games, you may take pleasure in each PvE and PvP content material – ah, the crucible. I don’t assume a multiplayer area has ever humbled me so rapidly in my life, however I grew to like it and hope to see it within the cellular recreation. There’s additionally a full marketing campaign so that you can take pleasure in, and I believe it’s truthful to say you may 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 Responsibility. Black Ops being playable on cellular at launch is a big win, however after years of expertise with COD Cell, it’s time for an additional shooter to enter the sphere.
