The developer dropped a launch trailer for the game just moments ago. In it, we’re introduced to Crucible‘s zany cast of characters, each armed with their own weapons and abilities. There’s also an angry cat you can play, and I’m sure our own Tim McDonald is all about that shit.

Room for one more

One wonders if Crucible can stand out among all the other team-based shooters out today. And there are plenty to choose from. Other than Overwatch, which is still alive and kicking, Riot has also taken to the field with Valorant. Hero-based shooters have certainly become the norm. And it seems to me that Crucible is betting to stand out on its unique game modes and upgradable heroes (not unlike what we see in most MOBAs). Naturally, we’ll have to wait and see if it can take off. Being free to play will certainly help its cause.
