'Hybrid Wars' Gets Release Date - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Sept. 15, 2016 @ 3:16 p.m. PDT

Hybrid Wars brings the nostalgia of classic, top-down shooters of the ‘90s hurtling into the future.

In 2060, humanity is on the cusp of the second technological revolution. Earth has become a tangled web of information, energy and transportation networks watched from orbit by thousands of electric eyes. Sprawling cities, vast spaceports and immense military complexes are dominated by AI-controlled mechs, tanks, choppers and submarines that rule the land, sea and sky. While corporations still pull the strings that control the world, their grip is starting to weaken.

Fight as one of three distinct mercenaries, traveling the world, under the employ of mega-corporations, who have their own way of profiting from war, while revolutionizing the history of combat to take back the world. Each mercenary offers countless ways to conquer eight open-world warzones and wreak havoc on robot-kind with dozens of diverse battle mechanics and eclectic equipment. Control power bombers, assault mechs, tanks, boats, and attack helicopters to fully dominate the battlefield. Switch mechs and weapons on the fly to change up your style to face each challenge, and even bring along a cute mech pet to watch your back. Hybrid Wars’ different modes, from story to survival, give you new ways to take on the world.

Choose your combat vehicle and start your fight for the future now.

Available in Standard and Deluxe Editions, step into the shoes of three original characters: Alex Carter (Standard Edition), Ivan (credited to WGN users with the Standard and Deluxe Editions) and Jason Wood (exclusive to Deluxe Edition owners). Alex Carter is a highly acclaimed military specialist outfitted with a personal medical drone capable of saving a soldier's life in the field. Ivan is a former mercenary and master of mechs, who has a personal defense drone capable of restoring force fields and supporting soldiers in combat. Jason Wood is a renowned cybernetically enhanced super-soldier with a support drone by his side that can grab resources and transport cargo in combat. Each of Hybrid Wars’ heroes offers you countless ways to capture bases, utilize dozens of upgrades, and use eclectic weapons in a flash, to swing the battle in your favor.
