The cat's out of the bag now, revealing what Creative Assembly and SEGA have been working on for several years. Hyenas They are introducing a brand new multiplayer IP, even though some are waiting for a sequel to Aliens Isolation had hoped.

In Hyenas The world is at its end, as it rarely has been. The first billionaires have made it to Mars, leaving Earth and its back taxes far behind. However, the anti-gravity technology that made their journey possible has destroyed our planet, leaving humanity stranded in a floating slum called "Perineum." And that's not all: the only thing the rich care about now is rare goods—pop culture memorabilia from the life we ​​left behind, which they loot from the wreckage to furnish their Martian mansions.

Therefore, it's time to reclaim what's rightfully ours. Giant spaceship-based shopping malls, known as plunder ships, are crammed with nostalgic loot stolen from the remnants of Earth. But they're also packed with hired thugs, alarm systems, and armed drones that only the hyper-rich can afford.

The player's task in Hyenas It is to assemble your hyena crew from a motley crew of uniquely skilled and armed criminal misfits, get on the plunder ships, grab the loot and disappear again.

“We believe the key to success for a modern shooter lies in understanding what players want to see and where they want their experience to take them. We know we have something interesting to offer, but we also know the odds are stacked against us,” explained Executive Producer David Nicholson. “To compete with the biggest games in the industry, we need to hear players’ opinions – directly and early on. If someone’s on board, we want to bring them along. That’s why, following today’s announcement, we’re launching the first of our public alpha tests.”

This requires both weapons and cunning. Each plunder vessel is a sandbox of interconnected systems, offering endless opportunities for clever teams to exploit the environment, security networks, hired thugs, and rival crews to gain the upper hand.

Once it starts, lightning-fast movements and deadly battles combine in dangerous and often switchable anti-gravity zones, offering you dramatic opportunities to master your environment to trap and eliminate other crews.

When Hyenas Its appearance date is currently unclear. Initially, the following will be found here: a Closes Alpha test on the PC.
