Sci-fi co-op shooter Polaris announced for PC
Variable State off-shoot Polaris Team has announced Polaris, an original science-fiction four-player cooperative shooter coming to PC via Steam in 2024. A beta test is planned to be held shortly.
“Since I first played Bullfrog’s Syndicate Wars, I’ve always dreamed of working on a game which featured hi-tech squads of futuristic soldiers, causing mayhem and destruction in an original sci-fi setting,” said Polaris Team creative director Jonathan Burroughs in a press release. “Sprinkle in a deep appreciation for the Halo series—particularly its blend of on-foot and in-vehicle co-op action—and you can begin to get a sense of what we hope to achieve with Polaris.”
Burroughs continued, “We’re only a small and scrappy team of 11 people, but have been plugging away at this project since early 2023. Aided by the tools and technologies of Unreal Engine 5, Polaris Team has built a tight 4-player PvE combat game with a dynamic, destructible environment, set in our own unique sci-fi universe. With the release date arriving later this year, the team and I couldn’t be more excited to share Polaris with players worldwide!”
