Coming to PC and consoles in 2023 from Useless by Daylight’s Habits Interactive

Constructing? Raiding? Why not each? Meet Your Maker is a brand new co-op FPS from Useless by Daylight creator Behaviour Interactive that’ll take a look at your creativity and survivability.

Because the protector of the Chimera, “a dwelling experiment created as a final resort to avoid wasting life on Earth,” you’ll assemble dastardly bases with sufficient traps and freaky henchmen to maintain the trespassers at bay. On the flip aspect, you’ll additionally infiltrate different gamers’ outposts — doubtlessly with a buddy in on-line co-op — in hopes of snatching genetic materials.

This so-called “Genmat” fuels your development with unlockable traps, guards, weapons, and fits, so the motion and artistic sides of Meet Your Maker circulation collectively.

Based on the builders, you’ll be capable to “destroy traps and guards for added constructing assets and upgrades” whereas taking up bases. In the meantime, you’ll be rewarded for killing thieves from afar, and also you’ll “by no means lose progress or assets by being raided.”

One other tidbit past the same old modular building components: you may “pre-record customized patrol paths” to your guards in Meet Your Maker for a extra private contact. And you’ll “Status” your bases “to lengthen their lifespan and achieve even higher rewards.”

Construct an outpost, watch replays, and iterate

At first look from the reveal trailer, I wasn’t feeling the dusty, cyber-mutant-filled aesthetic, however the base-raiding fundamentals do appear enjoyable. It’s going to come back right down to selection, although. Even with nice instruments, user-generated content material might be hit-or-miss.

That stated, the extra I dig into the gameplay particulars, the extra fascinating it sounds despite its familiar-looking world. Coming from one other studio, I’d be extra skeptical. However I really feel like Behaviour may have an excellent probability of getting the basics proper and sustaining gamers’ curiosity past launch, which is essential for any user-content-reliant recreation.

Meet Your Maker is coming to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Collection X/S in 2023.

Signal-ups are open for the PC-only playtest

There will probably be a several-week-long closed playtest (enroll right here) beginning on August 23 for PC gamers, nevertheless it’ll be NDA-bound, so no streaming or sharing. Additionally, any progress you make or gadgets you unlock on this pre-release construct of the sport will probably be wiped.

I want to formally request that somebody make a Dice stage. Who’s in?
