Overload Leaves Early Access in May

By Rebecca Smith,

Overload hit its Kickstarter funding target two years ago, then released into Early Access a year later. Revival Productions has taken to their blog to explain that the "six-degree-of-freedom tunnel shooter" will soon be leaving Early Access and getting a full release.

Combining modern technology with gameplay found in classic six-degree-of-freedom shooters, like their previous title Descent, the title offers an "intense" experience. The game's features include:

15 level single-player campaign plus secret levels
Numerous level challenges including lava, forcefields, lockdowns, ambushes and secret rooms
20 terrifying robot enemies, plus Super-Robots and Variants and three bosses
Multiplayer with public and private matches
Challenge mode (with two variants) and 12 Challenge Mode levels Story by the writer of FreeSpace 2 with fully-voiced audio (English Only)
Adrenaline-pumping soundtrack
Optional training level for refining your piloting skills
Achievements and Leaderboards
Upgrades and XP system and advanced player stats
Automap and Holo-guide for navigation assistance
Save anywhere
Six difficulty levels ranging from a casual challenge to very punishing
Support for mouse, keyboard, gamepad and/or joystick controls
Surround sound audio options
Virtual reality support for Oculus and Vive
Interface and Subtitle Available in: English, French, German, Spanish and Russian
Post launch: Release of Level Editor and support for user-created levels and campaigns

While we wait, we can view the game's trailer announcing the release date so you can get an idea of what to expect.

As the trailer states, the title is due to leave Early Access on May 31st, 2018.
