Whoever leaked this is a dick!!!!! With that said, the game gives me Overwatch vibes. As cool as it looks, I'm not interested in a multiplayer game without single player content. I dont play online much anymore.

Because users here favor SP /Cinematic experiences, it's like genre tribalism.

I can't think of more than one 4v4 mp melee game. Everything else is guns.

Quick 5-10 minute matches against other players using ninja theory combat (which I already love) sounds like a fun game I can probably spend more hours in than a one and done linear SP game. Plus Gamepass 🤷🏼‍♂️

Lol it's doesn't have to be about "tribalism" at all. Some people just aren't hype about arena style MP games. Especially from a studio they probably expected more of a Single Player experience. It's literally that simple.

While I was hoping they'd make something with a little more... "game" to it this time, this isn't exactly what I had in mind. Doesn't sound like something that'll really play to NT's strengths, but we'll see how it pans out.

this is just so fucking gross. after you've worked on something for years you want to be in charge of how people are gonna see it for the first time and these leaks just rob the creators from that opportunity. shame on whoever leaked this.

Looks super cool. These animations are top notch.

Looks like something perfect for Game Pass/F2P, not something I'd run out a buy, but if it's there something I'd at least try.

Looks like something from Gearbox, lol.

I expected something different from them.

Love the emphasis on it being built by the same people who designed DmC. DmC2 should be their next project after that 💪.

This being a MP game it'll probably get incremental updates and such while they build their next single player project. Also, the video is not very good but I'm all for trying a melee focused MP game that's more over the top than For Honor. If anything, it looks much better than Anarchy Reigns so far.

Studio has several teams and has been working on this for a while, prior to being bought by Microsoft. Don't know how people can say MS is fucking another studio, and it's not like all new studio acquisitions will all be single player games either. Can't wait until people start saying Sunday's conference is one of the worst ever no matter what they show.

Don't you bring reason into this.

Not the direction I was hoping Ninja Theory would take. I'll keep an open mind but this is definitely disappointing.

Very cool character designs and animations, but there's something about that art style that I can't put my finger on. Like if Sunset Overdrive didnt manage to nail its aesthetic.

I hate multiplayer games with a passion (won't even play poker) but I'm not mad. Hope it's cool and I'll at least read about fun mechanics/plays of the game.

As for the lawbreakers comparison, this is the ideal case to be making niche games, right? Other teams working on other stuff, owned by MS, so a failure won't entirely tank the company. Game pass gives larger potential player base, and MS will advertise it better too

Can we not have leak details/spoilers in thread titles? It is so annoying.

"Ninja Theory's new game leaked (Details inside thread)" would have worked just as fine and I would've avoided

Is it as simple as a game being made since 2014 that would have ended up coming out multiplatform? It's not like Microsoft told them at gun point to make this, Phil Spencer been name dropping Hellblade for YEARS. The SP game will eventuall come. This game was probably their farthest along and looks great so this finished first.

Looks pretty cool.
DmC Dante would blend in pretty well in this game because of the art style imo.

Oi that looks sick! Definitely has me interested, we need more melee based pvp games. Character designs look nice too.

I did see some guns and shooting in there though?
