The latest Next up on Stadia blog post showcased a set of upcoming games for later this year. The Outbreak games and The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk being officially announced for the platform. Aside from that, the Stadia team has given us more details regarding From Space. Announced last year, From Space is the latest game developed by Triangle Studios. Published by Curve Games, we already knew about the game releasing this Autumn. Now, however, we have new details about the spiritual successor to It Came From Space And Ate Our Brains.
From Space is a twin-stick shooter that can be enjoyed both solo or with co-op. Here’s the description given with the latest Stadia blog post:
From Space is a solo and co-op action-shooter for squads up to four players. Take on the challenge of liberating the earth from an alien infestation with your friends, using over-the-top weaponry in a post-apocalyptic world with awesomely stylized graphics. The apocalypse has never been so much fun!
That’s no bubblegum army, that’s an endless horde of menacingly pink aliens taking over our planet! Enough sweet talk, grab your gear, we need you and your squad to defeat the pink pests! Explore the world and help the human resistance regain ground against the invaders, improving skills and building your arsenal of weapons as you explore every corner of this post-apocalyptic world.
Features:
- Squad Up! – While you can play From Space solo (if you’re brave enough) you’d be wise to invite some friends to help you out. With online play, you can create a four-person squad. Look, there are a lot of those pink pests out there, so the more people, the better. Oh, and with a squad, you’ll have some witnesses to tell everyone how awesome you are. It’s basically a win-win scenario.
- Shoot, Explode, Stab – With a variety of weapons (Rocket Launchers, Miniguns, Flamethrowers and more!) there’s no excuse not to annihilate those aliens! Build your ideal spec and use tactical items such as grenades and mines, or slow down the hordes with barbed wire and machine gun turrets. Remember to scavenge the world for loot, you’ll need it!
- You’re Special, So Pick Your Specialist Skill! – No matter what type of player you are, there’s a wide range of characters in From Space’s roster, each with their own unique ability and weapons. Find the perfect balance with your friends as you build the ultimate super squad
- Don’t Just Stand There, Level Up! – As you level-up, you’ll be able to attach special perks to your character, helping you to master the art of destroying aliens. You’ll need to find ways to combat increasingly more powerful aliens, and perks will help you accomplish all of your pink alien squashing dreams. Need to rethink your strategy? No problem! We like innovators! Perks can be swapped around, even between your squad!
- The Apocalypse Has Never Been So Much Fun! – We’re going to level with you… an alien threat is terrifying, terrifyingly fun! Look, the world is already pretty beat up as it is. Who’s going to notice if you cause a little more destruction while saving the day? People have insurance, it’s fine…
We have fond memories of playing the timed demo some months ago, so we can’t wait to enjoy the game when it comes out! You can see a full list of upcoming games for Stadia on our list.
