The creators of the popular games The Last of Us and The Last of Us 2 have shown their new post-apocalyptic survival game that they want to make something more than just a game.
Fans have noticed the similarity of anomalies in the game with anomalies from STALKER games.
Game industry veterans, including the developers of The Last of Us, The Last of Us 2, Days Gone, and Uncharted: Golden Abyss, have founded a new studio.
They named her Liithos. The first project of the company was the game Ashfall (Ashfall). Events will develop in the future, hundreds of years after our time.
Global warming has led to a series of natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. They destroyed civilization, and anomalies appeared all over the Earth, mysterious sources of destructive energy, which they called Imprints.
The remnants of humanity broke into Enclaves and began an endless war for territories.
In Ashfall, the story will begin in the form of a single-player cinematic action familiar to gamers with an emphasis on storytelling.
As it progresses, it evolves into a global multiplayer project with PvP and PvE components. At the same time, the developers initially planned to turn the game into a media franchise.
Even before the release of the game, there will be a comic that will be the beginning of the plot of Ashfall.
The creators of the action are also working with bloggers, streamers, musicians, and artists to create a variety of new content across the universe. All media will be merged to complement and expand the game.
Another feature of Ashfall will be the use of the Hedera network, which is analogous to the blockchain. As a result, players will be able to change and sell unique items mined and created in the game.
Ashfall will be released on PC and consoles, but the developers have decided not to announce the release year yet.
