When last we heard about
Global Agenda 2, we learned the promised sequel to 2010's
Global Agenda was in line behind profitable MOBA
SMITE for attention, and that announcement was made while its
developers were admitting Tribes: Ascend was unlikely to ever get more love. But
Hi-Rez Studios CEO
Erez Goren broke radio silence on
GA2 with a slew of
spoilers on Reddit yesterday (apparently before he was
shadowbanned for "vote manipulation" by angry Tribes players). The highlights?
- It is in fact a "spiritual" successor to GA.
- It'll have objective-based, 5v5 PvP with stats leveling during matches. E-sports will be supported, as will spectator mode.
- Viewpoint is first- and third-person. "Shooting is from first person mostly."
- There are "no strict classes." There is "no dedicated healer class." You just "select the way you want to play and join the queue."
- A "dome city area" might serve as a gathering point for players.
- He rattles off a whole list of weapons and off-hand items.
Clever Redditors surmise that the game might actually be named
Global Assault. Closed beta is expected "before the end of the year if all goes well."
