Hyenas Is A New Multiplayer Shooter From Sega And Creative Assembly

thegamer.com:

Sega and Alien: Isolation developer Creative Assembly have announced a new multiplayer shooter called Hyenas, a fast-paced team FPS where your goal is to steal more "pop-culture artifacts" than the other teams. The game has you and two other people go up against four other teams of three as well as some environmental obstacles. A specific release date for the game wasn't revealed, but the game will launch for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X at some point in 2023.

Hyenas was shown off during an event for IGN's Summer of Gaming via a new trailer which showed off plenty of gameplay and nifty features, including a weapon that seems very familiar to the Gloo Cannon from Prey (2017) and maps that will incorporate zero-g segments. We don't actually know when you'll be able to get your hands on Hyenas, but if all of this sounds up your alley, you can sign up to try out the Hyenas alpha build here.

While the trailer doesn't mention a story of any kind, IGN did reveal some of the game's backstory. The game is set in space as the elite class have wrecked Earth and are now living it up on Mars, while everyone else lives down in the space slums. Understandably fed up with the situation, you play as one of a group of ridiculous characters whose mission it is to steal everything back from the rich that stole from you.

While this is the first we're actually hearing of Hyenas, Sega has pretty high hopes for the title as it appears to be the "Super FPS Game" that it's been referring to internally for quite a while. The publisher revealed last year that it planned to start development of an FPS title with a European studio which was reported at the time to be Creative Assembly,
