Assemblyplays a multiplayer shooter? Well, meet the official announcement –HYENAS, a first-person PvPvE action game about low gravity and the hunt for pop culture symbols.

In the world of the game, billionaires finally got to Marsand left the Earth. Along with this came a catastrophe: the zero-gravity technology that underlay the space travel of the moneybags tore the Earth to shreds. Now the survivors live on the drifting debris of the planet.

Although, this is not what the rich are interested in at all - they greedily collect rare merchandise from the ruins of the Earth to decorate their Martian estates.

Hyenas are our characters.They land on spaceships, which are essentially cents for billionaires with the same merchandise. The stores are strictly guarded: there are hired thugs, alarms, and armed drones. Target Hyenas – steal as much “merch” and get out of there in one piece. The problem is that a group of hobos in a shopping center is usually not alone - the authors recall up to five teams in a match.

According to the developers, each shopping center isit's a kind of sandbox where you can come up with creative solutions to problems. If it comes to open conflict, then the battles happen quickly and involve zones with zero gravity.

All Hyenas are characters with unique features and personalities. Some rely on guns, and some rely on manipulation of the environment. Let's say one of the characters has a plaster cannon, similar to the analogue fromPrey2017, – she can create walkways and cover or immobilize enemies.

Apparently, merchandise inHYENASwill intersect with reality: for example, a keychain with Sonic has already appeared in the trailer, in the screenshots you can see a monkey fromSuper Monkey Ball, the player on the hip of one of the characters is a cassette playerWalkmanfromSony, and somewhere on the walls there is a poster of an Indie gameViscera Cleanup Detail.
