Stylized Shooter Tokyo 42 Multiplayer Trailer Reveals Chaotic Action

New details are out today about Tokyo 42's frenetic multiplayer mode. In the trailer above, we get a sneak preview of the all-out carnage that breaks out after players discover each other.

"Each player starts with a randomized skin and very little ammo. They must attempt to blend in with the crowd and build up their arsenal without being spotted by others," publisher Mode7 said in an email.

"Once the players' identities are discovered, havoc ensues as katanas, pistols, miniguns, rocket launchers, and various flavors of grenade are whipped out and put to use."

Staying in disguise is harder than it seems thanks to Trackacat, a "crack reconnaissance feline able to sniff out the slightest whiff of an assassin."

It all plays out on five different maps: Tears, Autoshow, Looks Like a Quadcopter, and Market (the "archetypal Tokyo 42 map," with dense crowds, hiding places, and tricky ammo pick-ups). The fifth map, HRBRT, is an open-air map perfect for "grenades, automatic rifles, and sniping."
