The game will feature crossplay between PC and Xbox consoles, as well as the ability for players to share perks with newcomers. In addition to familiar weaponry, players will have access to more sci-fi guns such as arc lightning shooters and vortex grenades. Furthermore, the characters aren't divvied up into a class-specific structure, suggesting that perks are relegated to the character players select.
Speaking to GamesRadar, Faliszek said fun and the social aspects were core to The Anacrusis's design.
"We want people to have fun," Faliszek said. "We want you to hang out with your friends. We want it to be social. That is our number one goal. And so how do we do that? And we do try to do that through all of our systems."
