A groovy collaboration in newly announced The Anacruisis

Today, Xbox announced their new, 4 player co-op shooter The Anacruisis.

The Anacrusis is an infinitely-replayable, four-player, co-op first-person shooter coming to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows 10, and with Xbox Game Pass this Fall. In our launch trailer, you’ll meet the four survivors who make up the cast of The Anacrusis’ first season — Nessa, Guion, Liu, and Lance. Our unlikely heroes are unwilling combatants in the battle to defend humanity from a newly-discovered alien menace on the edge of explored space.

Every time you play The Anacrusis, the game changes. The AI Driver controls every aspect of the game, it spawns every enemy, directs each boss, and places all the weapons, gadgets, and health kits in the game. The goal is to deliver the perfect difficulty for your party’s preference, but it goes much further than that. The Driver knows how much of the story each player has experienced, so the secrets of the alien attack, and the relationships between the characters, and even more story beats unfold as you play. You’ve never experienced a co-op FPS quite like this before.

But wait, there’s more! Each time you play The Anacrusis, you’ll find new perks. The perks will change the way you play from game-to-game. You can stack all your upgrades to become your team’s offensive expert, spread your perks around and play for general utility, or specialize in healing to keep your friends alive. You’ll unlock more perks the more you play, and you’ll automatically share them with everyone on your team!

The Anacruisis is launching this fall on Windows, the Xbox Series, Xbox One, and Game Pass. For more E3 news, stay tuned to Gaming Trend.
