'Loadout' Gets Official Release Date

by Rainier on Jan. 16, 2014 @ 9:55 a.m. PST

Loadout is a fast-paced, completely chaotic, third-person shooter with an INSANE amount of weapons and customization options.

Loadout perfectly blends deviously fun & addictive gameplay with hilarious, cartoony aesthetics, and over 44 billion weapon combinations with its unique modular weaponcrafting system (that’s right, BILLIONS of weapon combos).

Choose from just about everything under the sun - from the gun’s chassis and barrel to the trigger and stock -  everything can be modified, whether it shoots bullets, fire, rockets, plasma beams, healing syringes, etc. If you can dream it, you can build it. Define your own, unique play style through the weapons you create!

The development team has spent the last three years fine tuning the mechanics and embracing the maniacal and addictive nature of Loadout’s gameplay, ensuring their debut title will be ready for its highly-anticipated launch. 

“After spending the last two decades contributing to the development of some amazing franchises, like Mass Effect, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, The Sims, and Dragon Age, Loadout is our studio’s first original IP, and we couldn’t be more excited to open it up to the masses,” said Rob Cohen, CEO of Edge of Reality. “We started this as a passion project, working on it when we could, and trying to create something original and truly player friendly. What we’ve got now is a game that’s a blast to play, quick and easy to get into, and empowers players with insane amounts of customization.”

In fact, Loadout’s weapon-crafting system runs so deep that there are over 44 billion possible creations to assemble, enabling players to transform weapon behavior in extreme ways, thereby defining their own class and play style. Combining weapon-crafting with acrobatic movement and over-the-top comedic violence, Loadout is packed with personality and style that deliver a fresh and satisfying alternative to the vast array of modern combat shooters.

Loadout is currently in beta via Early Access on Steam.
