Ontwikkelaar Wales Interactive heeft de co-op horrorgame Sker Ritual uit Early Access gehaald. Vanaf nu is Sker Ritual een af product, want versie 1.0 van de game is nu uit. Om de lancering van de game te vieren, heeft Wales Interactive de onderstaande launch trailer vrijgegeven.
Sker Ritual is een round based survival horror first person shooter die je in co-op kan spelen met vrienden. In deze game neem je het op tegen hordes van angstaanjagende monsters en supercharged elites. Hoe verder je komt, hoe beter de beloningen. Spelers kunnen unieke supernatural abilities krijgen, nieuwe wapens ontgrendelen en vorderen in een verhaal dat is geschreven door de auteurs van Maid of Sker, Battlefield 1 en Total War: Rome II.
Dit zijn de key features van Sker Ritual volgens de ontwikkelaar:
- Team Tactics or Shoot Solo? – Designed for playing solo, or up to four players online. Short of a teammate? No worries, the intensity of Sker Island’s hordes scale to the number of players. You could always find-a-friend over on the official Sker Ritual Discord.
- Sker Enemies – The Quiet Ones have returned and they are not alone. Sker Island has recruited new elites, each with a unique set of abilities that will force you to change-up your playstyle, change your location, or enlist the help of your teammates! Old enemies aren’t the only ones to curse the lands of Sker, we have many more new faces—even some without faces—that want to destroy you.
- It’s a Miracle – Killing enemies offer a chance to drop powerful Miracles. Look out for these, you’ll need them. A Miracle drop offers a choice of three random upgradable powers that buff or alter your shooting, melee, grenade and healing. A fifth slot is reserved for your Ultimate, a chargeable powerful action to save up for those sticky situations. Each Miracle is bound to a Celtic God and come in many forms including rarity, core attributes and power.
- Masks, Quips and More – Collect and induce fear on Sker’s inhabitants with interchangeable masks inspired by all forms of horror; folk, gothic, zombie, science fiction to the supernatural and more. Taunt your teammates with unique voice lines and switch out your dynamic menu scene environments from the Island.
- The Laughing Policeman – Get your guns, ammo, and more at The Laughing Policeman’s booth at locations around the maps. Buy stock munitions or gamble on a randomly picked weapon with a chance of gaining a higher base level. Climb the weapon ranks with unique upgrades courtesy of The Laughing Policeman’s SUPER CHARGER for bonus buffs and visible steam-punk inspired enhancements.
Sker Ritual is nu verkrijgbaar voor de PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S en Xbox Series X. Een PlayStation 4 en Xbox One-versie is in ontwikkeling, maar deze verschijnen op een later moment.
