It's been a while since I've seen a "super serious fake gamer voice chat" trailer

Jokes aside, looks neat.

I saw this title a couple of times during conferences in the past years and I liked the general atmosphere and style, but I had absolutely no clue what kind of gameplay to expect.

Now that I seen it, it reminds me of The Division in a different theme. Was expecting a whole different kind of game for some reason. Can't say the gameplay looks very interesting though, seems quite basic and bland, especially comparing to the Division games. Might still check it out since I like the style and theme.

You're not mistaken actually, this game changed a lot and was apparently supposed to release in 2022 as a looter shooter. They delayed it, changed it to be a slower paced extraction shooter instead.

I thought I was going crazy, because I definitely felt like the impressions I got a couple of years ago definitely seemed more like a Destiny type of game.

Could still be fun but it seemed like a weird shift. But these kind of changes during development barely ever mean anything good for the final product.
