Amazon’s multiplayer shooter Crucible launching May 20thPvEvP

PvEvP

Amazon Game Studios today announced a May 20th release date forCrucible, their free-to-play multiplayer shooter where two teams compete while battling big monsters. Players get to pick from characters with different abilities, hunt monsters, level up… it’s got a lot of familiar-sounding bits from other multiplayer PvE and PvP and PvEvP games, and I’m curious. Seeing as it’ll be F2P, yeah, I’ll give it a go. I’m curious about Amazon’s venture into making games too, which got off to a bumpy start. Have a peek at a new trailer below.

Along with a 4v4 mode where two teams vie to beat three big monsters and claim their hearts first, Crucible will have 2v2v2v2v2v2v2v2 last-team-standing, and an 8v8 mode about capturing and holding resource harvesters to collect points. Seethe Crucible websitefor more.

While Amazon Game Studios did once seem perhapsdead in the water, having announcedthree gamesin 2016 butcancelled oneand released none, they are finally releasing two games this year. The other isNew World, an MMO set in a haunted age of colonisation, due in August.

My brain is hung up on Destiny’s PvP mode being named Crucible. Won’t feel right without the big man hollering “THIS IS AMAZING!”
