Multiplayer details coming soon

Duskis a low-poly fever dream of shotguns and the occult. The hyper-fast retro FPS channelsDoom,Quake, and other influential shooters to make something so wicked — and goddamn fun — that I couldn’t take my hands off the keyboard during a demo atPAX East.

Publisher New Blood Interactive recently unleashed a newDusktrailer that has me all sorts of excited for game’s full release. I’d say that it hints at some of Dusk’s finest features, but that would imply subtlety, and there’s nothing subtle about the shooter. It’s violent and snappy in all the right ways, full of enough explosions and backflips to make every action hero blush.

All told,Duskwill release with thirty-three levels across three episodes and a boatload of gameplay and display options. I saw a handful of them in action earlier this year, but the trailer sells them better than I ever could. you may change your FOV, play with different filters, tweak screen scaling and plenty of other things. As pointed out in the trailer,Dusk‘s host of options seem unnecessary, but that’s a big part of the charm.

While it’ll be a little longer untilDuskis fully released, QuakeCon marks a special moment in the game’s development. According to the publisher,Dusk‘s multiplayer reveal will occur at the massive convention. It’s fitting, considering that bothQuake‘s andDoom‘s DNA is a big part of the upcoming shooter.
