60-player multiplayer first-person shooter LEAP announced for PS5, PS4, and PC
Early Access version due out in February.
Blue Isle Studios has announced 60-player multiplayer first-person shooter LEAP for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC (Steam).
It should be noted that confirmation of PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 versions is only known because of a YouTube upload by the official PlayStation channel. Blue Isle Studios itself otherwise does not mention consoles at all on the game’s official website or social media accounts.
The PC version will launch first in Early Access via Steam in February, and will remain in Early Access for one year. The Early Access version of the game will feature “a ton of content” at launch, but will add new environments, game modes, player classes, weapons, and abilities over time.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
LEAP is a fast-paced, multiplayer first-person shooter featuring epic battles with up to 60 players, each armed to the teeth. Become an elite LEAP mercenary as you soar into battle. Fight for either the United Earth Defense Coalition (UEDC) or the rebel Exo-Terrans—whoever pays the most, wins your trigger finger and excessive arsenal.
Work together with your teammates, use powerful weapons and unique class abilities, and traverse the terrain quickly with grappling hooks, jetpacks, and outrageous vehicles to seize victory.
Key Features
- Arrive in Style – Jump on your hoverboard and backflip into battle, or saddle up onto a mechanical moose and lead the charge. Whatever your play style, every LEAP mercenary is equipped with a Personal Vehicle (PV), allowing you to quickly cover distances and close the gap on your enemy.
- Epic Abilities – Every exosuit comes equipped with match altering abilities—call in an Orbital Laser to wipe out a group of enemies, or throw down a Support Shield to take temporary cover from enemy fire.
- Master Your Environment – Every obstacle is an opportunity to soar, dash, or charge, and an elite mercenary will use their unique movement abilities to navigate the battlefield quickly. Use your grappling hook to reach greater heights or your directional dash to dodge enemy fire.
- Reap the Rewards – The glory of victory only gets sweeter with rewards. Customize your mercenary with helmet emojis and distinct skin options for exosuits, vehicles, and weapons. Flaunt and taunt your frenemies with style and sass.
