Spätestens mit Overwatch wurden die sogenannten Hero-Shooter salonfähig gemacht.

Bereits vor knapp einem Jahr haben die Entwickler von Disruptive Games mit Megalith einen Ableger des Genres für PlayStation VR angekündigt. Da auch eine Online-Struktur für ein solches Spiel wichtig ist, startet ab heute eine offene Beta. 

Weitere Informationen zur Beta bekommt ihr mit den folgenden Details:

We started Disruptive Games with one simple overriding goal: make great online games. Our first step was to assemble an amazing team. That done, we have spent the last two years working extremely hard on our first game, Megalith. The good thing is that a big part of our “work” has been playing Megalith almost every day! We have spent countless hours discussing, debating, and even arguing over the details to ensure Megalith is fun, beautiful, and highly competitive. But something has been missing…you! So, for the next couple of months all of you will be able to play with us for free in our open beta. Also, to thank early adopters we are offering a ton of rewards for pre-ordering the game.

Now to the details…

During the open beta you will have access to two of the five Titans at any time. The ones you get change every week, and not every player will have the same rotation of Titans; so there will be plenty of variety when you play. But if you pre-order the game, you’ll immediately be able to choose from any of the five titans anytime you want during the beta. And you get all the bonuses listed below, too!

Pre-order Megalith to receive the following:

Immediately: Unlock all Titans available during the Beta.
Bonus: Avatar pack including the starting five Titans.
Bonus: One DLC Titan granted when the game releases.
Exclusive: Epic skins for each of the starting five Titans when the game releases.
How to play

In Megalith, choose from one of five starting Titans and work in teams of two to take on other Titans in battle. The Titans each wield unique powers and abilities derived from their origin. These abilities can be used alone, but become even more effective when coordinated with an ally.

Each team must protect their side while attempting to lead their minions into enemy territory and breach their defenses. Titans will need to destroy enemy walls and towers in order to make their bases vulnerable to attack. Powerful siege minions can be summoned to aid in the path to
Victory.
