Smash, Grab, and Grow in The Holdouts, the upcoming session-based multiplayer game created by Ruckus Games.
Co-founded by industry veterans of Gearbox, Blizzard, Riot Games, Bethesda, and more, Ruckus Games sets its sights on creating a rousing new multiplayer experience, The Holdouts.
Emergent Gameplay
This new title will offer co-op for up to four players in an evolving world that will be updated with new emergent content over time. Set in a reminiscent era amid the backdrop of the American heartland, players are thrust into the shoes of everyday people forced to become heroes when the town comes under attack. It is not clear what is behind the strange events, and things don’t quite seem to add up.
Chaotic, Destructive Fun
Featuring a large roster of playable characters and thousands of unique make-shift weapon combinations – like a toaster kitted to shoot saw blades or a modded power washer turned flamethrower – players will “Smash, Grab, and Grow” as they blast their way through thrilling suburban invasion scenarios. Take to the streets, destroy whatever you want, find cool new weapons and resources, and rescue NPCs to take back to your Hometown, a living centralized hub. Here you can customize, build, and upgrade over time allowing you to enhance your weapons and abilities to head out even stronger for another round of chaotic fun.
Unique Visual Style
The already captivating and engaging gameplay is further accented by its unique visual style, led by Art Director Scott Kester, the visionary who played a pivotal role in transforming Borderlands’ pre-release gritty aesthetic into the iconic, colorful graphic novel style that came to define the series. This new title’s eye-catching art style belies some darker moments as you get pulled into a deep world that balances fun and humor with darkness and peril, built around unlikely heroes using everything at their disposal to overcome an onslaught of overwhelming forces.
A Strong Foundation
The Holdouts is developed by Ruckus Games, who recently made headlines after securing $19m in Series A funding to bring their vision to life. Notably, investors were sold on Ruckus’ project after playing a mere 20 minutes of its vertical slice demo – an especially impressive feat for a prototype made by only 14 people across 12 months!
