Avalanche Studios has its work cut out right now. Just Cause 4 is out in December, and it's also working alongside id Software on RAGE 2. Oh, and don't forget about Generation Zero, the free roam, co-op, 80s, sci-fi shooter. This was announced during E3 2018 to a lukewarm reception, and it's flown under the radar ever since.
This new trailer talks us through the game's core gameplay. Either playing alone or in co-op, you must explore an open world Sweden to find out what has happened to a population that has disappeared, as well as survive the hostile attacks from a mysterious robot force. The persistent baddies roam the environment until you destroy them, so there's a constant threat meaning you'll have to use everything available to you to get an edge. It sounds like scavenging for supplies and upgrading your equipment will be a big part of the loop, while the mystery behind the story will keep you playing.
The jury is still out on this one, but there's plenty of time until the game's 2019 release for it to convince people. What do you make of Generation Zero? Welcome your new robot overlords in the comments below.

It looks really cool, but it might be a bit of a grind really.
A lot of it sounds incredibly interesting, but what's making me cautious is the apparent lack of a definitive beginning-middle-end narrative structure. More clarity on that would be appreciated, because I could end up liking the look of this, for sure.
To be honest, this is the first time I’ve heard of this game...and I’m pretty darned intrigued.
Looks like a lot of fun! A hunting game that affords more interesting gameplay due to the choice of setting and enemies.
If this game launches at $30 or $40, it could be a great in-between among next year's big budget blockbusters.
Oh man i forgot about this, One of my most anticipated games EVER! Its a dream game personally.
Im a huge fan of the singularity concept and open worlds so its a no brainer for me. Im just finishing up reading robopocalypse too 😁
Honestly looks really bland and forgettable to me . Won't be down for this.
This is the first i have heard of this game. After watching the video i am definitely interested. I like how the game world looks and the weather cycle that looks to include snow.
Meh no thanks, not interested. Hope it plays good for those that want it though.
