Team17 and the Crowbar Collective are leaving Half-Life behind as they work on a four-player co-op first-person shooter.
Rogue Point is a four-player co-op first-person shooter being developed by Crowbar Collective, the creators of Black Mesa. The CEO, the richest man in the world, is dead. Cutthroat conglomerates are trying to carve up his kingdom. Using the MERX app, rival businessmen can hire private mercenary armies as easily as ordering takeout! Only Rogue Point, an elite, independent vigilante group, dares to fight back. Their goal is clear. Eliminate the MERX and end the corporate war. Gather up to four friends to form an elite team and engage in challenging missions with a dynamic roguelite twist that offers hundreds of ways to play.
Unlock cosmetics, weapons, and campaign modifiers to create mission-specific loadouts. Plan and shoot your way through a dynamic campaign where no two playthroughs are alike. Each MERX class presents a unique threat that will challenge you in new and surprising ways. Evolve the skills of the operators, interacting with the rogue element of the game. Gather intelligence, plan your attack, and adjust your strategy along the way. Fight your way through missions in four different locations, with each map redesigned using the game’s parametric design system, offering new strategies and challenges with each playthrough.
“Team17 has had amazing success in the shooter genre, and we’re excited to deliver another incredible title in this space by teaming up with [first-person shooter] veterans Crowbar Collective. We’ve seen the high quality they brought to Black Mesa, and together we know Rogue Point will take things to the next level,” said Team17 General Manager Ann Hurley in a press release.
“We are very excited to announce that we have partnered with Team for our upcoming co-op shooter, Rogue Point. We cannot wait to dive into the game and everything we have learned while creating a new [intellectual property] (as well as turning Crowbar Collective into a full-time development studio). We can’t thank Team 17 enough for their support and expertise. Like Black Mesa, we want to keep the community heavily involved in our development and updates. Our community was instrumental in Black Mesa’s Early Access and having Team 17 as a partner for Rogue Point helps us focus on development and community feedback! added Crowbar Collective CEO and project lead Adam Engels.
Rogue Point is currently announced for PC (Steam) only. No release date has been announced.
