The Anacrusis: Announce Trailer
Monster hordes look a bit ropey but hey, I’m feeling hopeful. I do like that spaceship’s decor.
So there you are, in a terrible place with your pals, pitted against a horde of monsters. An AI drector is overseeing the action, spawning enemies, bosses, and items to challenge you. Which is a description of The Anacrusis that applies to Left 4 Dead just as much. Looks like it’s very much doing that sort of thing, y’know. Only this time it’s a terrible giant spaceship filled with terrible space monsters, and you’ve got weapons like space guns and stasis grenades.
Sounds like they’re doing a lot of work to help you play with pals. Along with supporting cross-platform multiplayer, The Anacrusis will let players share unlocks too. That’s very nice.
The Anacrusis is due to launch this autumn onSteamand the Epic Games Store, as well as Xboxes.
