Publisher Sega and developer Creative Assembly have announced multiplayer first-person shooter, Hyenas, for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC Steam and Epic Games Store.
"We believe the key to modern shooter success is understanding what players want to see and where they want to take their experience,” said executive producer David Nicholson. "We know we’ve got something interesting on our hands, but we also know the odds are stacked against us.
"To take on the biggest games in the industry, we need to hear what players think, right up front and early. If you’re in, we want to take you along for the ride. That’s why after today’s announcement, we’re also launching into the first of our public Alpha tests."

Read details on the game below:
Earth is gone, the rich have colonized Mars and the rest of humanity is living their worst life in The Taint, a giant orbiting slum. While humanity is trying to survive, the Mars billionaires are more worried about fulfilling their nostalgic dreams. Plunderships, massive retail spacecrafts dedicated to selling salvaged pop-culture artefacts from Earth, our artefacts, at space-high prices to satisfy their desires.
We, an unlikely pack of talented robbers, hit the Mars elite where it hurts most: their stuff A.K.A. OUR stuff. They call us “HYENAS.”
We get in, empty some clips into their security clones and other “preventative measures”, steal all the best stuff then get out. Exploding a clone in zero gravity is kind of messy, but as long as we make it out with the merch it’s worth it.
So, you in?
Give Zero Fs in Zero-G
Why walk when you can fly? Traverse seamlessly into zero-G zones where movement and combat take flight.
Meet the HYENAS
A cast of memorable misfits with unique abilities and big personalities. Pick a Hyena to suit your style, whether that’s all guns blazing, or manipulating the environment to your advantage.
Steal Iconic Merch
Yesterday’s pop culture collectibles are priceless artefacts in a post-Earth age. Steal iconic memorabilia from the Plunderships’ vaults before rival crews do.
Become the Top Pack
Compete against other packs of players while taking down Plundership security forces. Meet your loot quota and make your escape to win.
An Evolving Challenge
Look forward to new HYENAS joining the party and the launch of extra Plunderships with more precious merch to steal.

The description is very meh and I don't like FPS in general, so even though I like Sega a lot I'll skip this.
I feel there a real gap in RPG in the market that Sega would fill but instead we get multiplayer FPS in a saturated market.
This does look good I guess if your into your first person shooters but I totally thought the game was gonna be a massive online game similar to phantasy star but ooo well maybe they get the memo n give us skies of Arcadia remake
Seems interesting. Here lately, I've been all about competitive shooters, which is weird, I'm normally a single player story driven kind of person.
EDIT: I believe this is made by the Alien Isolation team.. Would definitely rather have Isolation 2 over this, we will ever get it?
Yeah I'll skip this one Sega
Gonna be honest, I'm hating how PVEvP games are on the rise, mainly because I know that mode is designed to lure in PVE players to become PVP player bait.
Going by some YT and twitter comments, i'm not alone in disliking PVEVP.
