The new Battle Royale game Off The Grid aims to innovate the scenario and provide a fresh player experience. It is supported by big names such as Neill Blomkamp, the director of the films District 9 and Chappie, and Richard Morgan, the author of the Altered Carbon book series. The studio Gunzilla is developing the game and aims to create a massive cyberpunk world.
Off The Grid is set to release in 2023 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It will not be released on older consoles. As the studio has not yet announced a specific release date, we will have to wait for further updates.
Plot and Setting
Currently, there isn't much information available about the plot or specific details of the game world in Off The Grid. However, based on the team behind the game, it can be assumed that the plot will touch on themes such as social inequality, strong corporate presence in the world, lack of institutions to protect human rights, and the role of technology.
In Off The Grid, players seem to take on the role of mercenaries. In fictional cyberpunk worlds, most mercenaries don't have a clear good or evil side, but rather only care about money, making it difficult to know what each side is fighting for.
Gameplay and Features
While the gameplay of Off The Grid promises a new experience in the Battle Royale genre, the format itself is not new. Therefore, we can expect a large map where players fight against each other. Each match consists of 150 participants. Players can either compete against each other, as in traditional Battle Royale games, or engage with the game's PvE content, which advances the plot through missions.
Weapons and Equipment
Although we don't know if the Gunzilla team will add their own twists to the game's combat, based on the animations they have shared, players can expect to find a large arsenal of weapons and equipment in the game. From conventional pistols and machine guns to high-tech shields and swords, Off The Grid offers a suitable weapon for every playstyle. It is also assumed that vehicles will be available in the game.
Cyberpunk Elements
As a cyberpunk game, players will likely have access to body enhancement technologies. In a trailer, for example, a character with mechanical legs is shown jumping higher than a normal human. Such enhancements could be related to the crafting, customization, and trading systems that Gunzilla says are part of the game.
That's all we know so far about the release date, plot, and gameplay of Off The Grid. Stay tuned for more updates and information about this exciting new Battle Royale game!
