'Epsilon' Available On Steam Early Access

by Rainier on Oct. 2, 2015 @ 2:18 a.m. PDT

Epsilon is an Unreal 4 powered squad based stealth action shooter developed by industry veterans who have worked on franchises such as Ghost Recon, Halo, Shadows of Mordor, Mad Max, Killzone, SOCOM, MAG, Need for Speed, SWAT and more.

Epsilon is a hybrid stealth-action near-future tactical shooter where pre-planning and commanding your squad is essential for survival. Through high intensity kinetic operations, Epsilon is the unit tasked by Unipol to counter Eastern European militias engaged in human trafficking.

Fans interested in trying out Epsilon can check out the Early Access version of the game on Steam for $7.99.

Craig Gilmore (an artist with credits from Marvel, DC Comics, Ubisoft, The Walking Dead, Revolution, and more) will be providing an accompanying graphic novel for the game, which will also serve as the in game cinematics, delving into a storyline heavily inspired by themes in the ongoing crisis in Eastern Europe and the growing sense of Oligarchy in America in connection with groups like the Bilderberg’s.  A unique cast of diverse team members, which in a first for a contemporary shooter, contains no Americans, will drive the story forward.

Music will be another strong focus, with Rich Douglas scoring an ethnically inspired soundtrack for a unique musical feel.  Rich has worked on titles such as Insurgency and Shadowgate, and brings a unique flavor to the audio in the game.

Previously, Serellan has announced that all Kickstarter backers of their last title, Takedown: Red Sabre will also be receiving Epsilon for free.  Unlike past projects, Serellan is self-publishing Epsilon as a completely independent studio. The price point for Epsilon has yet to be announced.

Serellan, which is a disabled veteran owned company, is working with several veteran groups to donate portions of the proceeds from the game to benefit veterans and active-duty military members.
