[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Rating Summary

This is an action game in which players assume the role of soldiers attempting to win an intergalactic war. From a third-person perspective, players use pistols, assault rifles, sniper rifles, flamethrowers, turrets, grenades, and rocket launchers to shoot and kill enemies (e.g., robots, cyborgs, giant insects). Combat is accompanied by realistic gunfire, cries of pain, and blood-splatter effects; some areas of the battlefield depict bloodstains and dismembered corpses. Players can continue to attack defeated enemies, causing additional blood-splatter effects and dismemberment. Players can also shoot and kill human civilians during rescue missions.

Day 1 PC, let's go! Hopefully crossplatform mp.

Does anyone know if this gives us any insight into timetable of release? Do these ESRB ratings come ~ 2 months before launch or is it too unpredictable to say?

It's so close to release but has no release date or pre-orders open.

I think it may be a surprise PS+ drop from Sony. May be announced at the next showcase. Just a hunch.

Can't wait for this. Day one

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Insider Gaming suggests an October release is likely.

"Liberty Day", which is fictional BS in the HD universe, is supposedly Oct 26th.

Let's go.

Yea its a kinda big release which makes it more likely to drop om plus isnt it.

This screams like the kind of game that will greatly benefit from a day 1 PS+ launch.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I've also added to the OP the news about the rumored October release date.

 

[Luipadre]

October? DOA. Nice job sony. Unless its a ps+ extra game

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Never played the first game but this looks great so far. Echo what others have said that they should flood this on to PS plus and PC to get numbers up.

Day 1. I'm pulling both my bros and cousins off Warzone to play this together.

 

[dreamstation]

Any word if it will have full crossplay?

 

[drotahorror]

Day 1!

This have to reach Remnant 2 quality and quantity - and I don't believe it will.
