Format PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series
Origin US
Release TBA (Early Access out now)
Technically speaking, they’re not zombies. The disaster that has struck aboard The Anacrusis’ retrofuturist starship is really more of a facehugger situation, allowing the game to have its hordes-of-undead cake while also dressing it up in ’70s science-fiction kitsch. Still, it’s impossible to ignore the fact that this four-player co-op survival shooter finds itself in the most crowded marketplace since Dawn Of The Dead’s shopping mall. The Anacrusis arrives in Early Access only a few weeks after GTFO exits it, and precisely one week before Rainbow Six Extraction presents its triple-A take on the formula, with the likes of Redfall and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide also on the horizon.
What The Anacrusis has that those games don’t, though, is a Left 4 Dead veteran on its dev team, in the form of Stray Bombay co-founder Chet Faliszek. Less impressive than Back 4 Blood’s whole band of them, perhaps, but Faliszek hasn’t been afraid to play up the connection, describing the AI game master that underpins its enemy and pickup deployment as “Director 2.0”, an evolution of the tech developed during his time at Valve.
