Publisher Super Rare Originals and developer Pixel Reign have delayed science-fiction roguelite first-person shooter Moros Protocol from its previously planned September 4 release date to September 18, subtly citing Hollow Knight: Silksong‘s September 4 release as reason for the delay. It will be available for PC via Steam and GOG.
“Originally due to release on September 4, the release date is changing to ensure that the game releases under the best conditions for success,” reads the announcement.
The delay follows a number of other titles delayed due to Hollow Knight: Silksong, including CloverPit, Aeterna Lucis, Demonschool, Baby Steps, and Little Witch in the Woods.
Here is an overview of the game, via Super Rare Originals:
About
Moros Protocol is a science-fiction first-person shooter roguelite that tasks you with not just survival—but to face a world full of darkness and monsters.
Load up alone or with a friend for two player co-operative gameplay in this stylized pixel-painted love letter to the classic shooters of yesteryear.
Take on the role of Alex, who awakes on-board a Capital Battleship on the way to war – only to find that much of the crew is dead, and the ship is infested with monsters. Joined by an AI companion and his dim-witted robot assistant Ody-6, Alex sets off on a journey where every fight is a desperate battle against the unknown—and doom itself. The ship is a war zone. You may be outnumbered, but you are not outmatched.
Moros Protocol is a relentless, fast-paced shooter where survival means adapting – or being consumed. To thrive against the monstrous hordes, players will need to dynamically adapt their loadout and strategy with each run.
Looking for a frantic, high-mobility approach to your enemies? Fill up your loadout with SMGs or pistols, augmented for speed and increased damage while moving—perfect for laying down a barrage of bullets on the go. Or for a slower, more methodical approach, put together a sniping build that focuses on powerful, precise shots that can take down enemies in a single hit.
Whichever you choose, your skills will grow during each run through thanks to Moros Protocol’s evolving combat system. Throughout your run you will find augments tailored to improve your skills in a specific playstyle. Find an augment that boosts your run and gun capabilities? Change up your loadout for a shotgun and let it rip!
Plot your own route through each run, with every branching path offering different risks. Do you want to play it safe, or face greater danger in pursuit of even greater rewards? Are you looking for a guaranteed new weapon, or a vendor to upgrade your skills? Choose wisely as you make your way towards your goal.
Beware, as death is around every corner in Moros Protocol—but death is not the end! Upgrade your abilities after each death before rejoining the battle as a better, more fearsome killing machine.
