Here's your first look at Cliff Bleszinski's new game

Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski has debuted the first footage of his upcoming arena shooter codenamed Bluestreak.



Developed by Bleszinski's new studio Boss Key Productions, Bluestreak will be a free-to-play shooter published by Nexon. Based on the early pre-alpha footage, it appears to have futuristic samurais and assault rifles.

As you may have noticed by its ending logo, Bluestreak is being developed with Unreal Engine 4. “We considered several options regarding what technology we'd use to build 'Project BlueStreak'. Ultimately, we found ourselves coming full circle to my friends at Epic Games and the elegant solution for rapid and quality game development that is Unreal Engine 4,” Bleszinski stated. “We look forward to making a top-tier product through this partnership.”

Bleszinski previously said that Bluestreak will have a fleshed out lore. "Weapons will have manufacturing corporations, players will have lore/history, and the world will feel there and lived in," he said in a Reddit AMA last summer. "We also want to make live-action shorts quarterly to help tell more about the universe outside of the game. If you're doing a sci-fi IP you need as much of the fiction to come through in other mediums (and with lore) so people care about Plasma Rifle 3 or Player X."

Sorry the video does not work on my crap phone. Is this going to be a first person shooter? Is this coming to all consoles or just PC. I would love to see another Unreal Tournament style multiplayer coming to Xboxone, I enjoyed the Unreal Tournament on the 360. Just a shame not many people did.

Not to much to see fella, a war room and weapons storage (very GoW'esque) then an outdoors setting with an ancient Japan feel to it. The last 25 secs is the game name...

Oh well thanks for the update.

Being a massive gears fan this one has definitely peaked my interest thanks for the info Fatboy.

Looks more colourful than GoW, looking forward to seeing more of this.

No worries Lethal, and tricky, it wouldn't be too hard to be more colourful than Gears now would it
