Today, Ubisoft sent over words that Atomega, a new online multiplayer FPS will be dropping on September 19th, 2017 on Steam. Developed by Reflections, a Ubisoft studio, in the same small incubator program which created Grow Home and Grow Up, Atomega was made with a creatively experimental mind-set, deliberately seeking to create unusual concepts which will surprise and delight players.
Atomega takes place at the very end of time where reality is rapidly dissolving. All that exists are Exoforms, super advanced post-biological lifeforms, masters of matter, energy and the last distant relative to man and machine. As the laws of physics slowly repeal, the Exoforms fight for fun and dominance, replaying the final moments of the universe in an arena at the edge of destruction.
You goal in the game is to aquire acquire mass, by peacefully collecting it or via firefights, to evolve your Exoform from the nimble Atom to the godlike Omega. Competing for mass, players engage in a battle for supremacy through quick 10-minute rounds, gathering up to eight players. Acquiring mass also grants points and the player with the most points at the end of the round wins. The team bills it as a relentlessly competitive experience, one that’s easy to pick-up but hard to master game, with a light-hearted tone echoing the personality of its small development team.
We haven’t got our hands on the game so we can say for sure, but the trailer (above) has our curiosity peaked. Fingers crossed the team produce on all that they are promising, and as their last few games were really solid, we think that’s a pretty good bet.
Atomega will be available digitally worldwide on Steam on September 19th, 2017.
