The creators in the new video paid special attention to the Bravo Squad, which will be at the center of the events of Emergence Day. According to the developers, they aimed to show not only the war with the Locust but also the human side of the conflict through the relationships between the heroes.
A separate segment was dedicated to the city of Kalona. The studio wanted to create a living place, not just another arena for gunfights. Players will see how society gradually collapses in the first days of the invasion.
One of the new features will be the ability to slide between covers. This mechanic will allow faster movement across the battlefield and make battles more dynamic.
The developers also talked about the return of the Corpser. Thanks to the capabilities of Unreal Engine 5, the monster will become more impressive. Improvements will affect the blood system, destruction, and environmental reactions to what is happening, which should make gunfights more brutal and realistic.
The authors also confirmed the appearance of Tai Kaliso, discussed his role in the story, and promised many Easter eggs for fans of the series.
