Combining online multiplayer action with stealth mechanics and influences from the slasher horror movies of the 80s, Red Awakening pits prisoners-turned-super soldiers against each other in battle in a tumultuous post-Vietnam War United States.The developer sees the game as an opportunity to tap into the so-called "slasher genre" of video games and promises a great amount of ultraviolence and action throughout, as well as ideas borrowed from classic stealth action games from the 90s and 00s."We have found that the slasher genre in video games is an essentially untapped market with the potential to create a unique virtual experience," they stated, adding that the reaction to the horror-themed Call of Duty: Ghosts map Fog largely inspired them to pursue this form of game design.Red Awakening is expected to release on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. A pre-Alpha of the game will be shown off during the UK gaming festival Insomnia August 22 -25.Keep it locked to IGN for more details as they are announced.
