Cashing in on sinister futuristic megacorps.
Dystopian cyber-future megacorps are good if you’re a dystopian megacorp CEO or a dystopian finance reporter who enjoys dystopian quarterly earnings calls. But they’re great if you’re a mercenary looking to make a quick buck exploiting dystopian corporate rivalries for futurebucks. Lucky, then, that Hollowpoint focuses on the latter.
You might remember the name because Hollowpoint was previously being published by Paradox and turned up at the Paradox Convention in 2015. With the termination of developer Ruffian and Paradox’s relationship, the future of Hollowpoint and its neon-outfitted gunfolk was uncertain. The game has now changed hands and is being developed solely by Red Kite – a Huddersfield-based team who have worked on the likes of God of War and Dirt.
