System Shock 2 Director Reveals New Game ‘Void Bastards’

by Dylan Blight

Developer Blue Manchu have announced Void Bastards, a hybrid FPS and strategy game that is being led by Irrational Games co-founder Jonathan Chey.

Void Bastards features a comic-book stylization in both its design, story and general aesthetic and it seems like you’re a space-pirate who has to have a little bit of know-how in order to succeed.

You’ll have to plan out your travel in space, ship, crew and how you want to take on missions; then the action all takes place in a general FPS game with either poorly planned missions ending in potential death or getting away with big loot.

There also seems to be a rogue element where your character can die and another pirate will simply take over the role of the captain.

Void Bastards is coming to Xbox One and PC in early 2019.
