Gameforge, the publisher responsible for bringing popular free to play multiplayer online games such as SoulWorker, Elsword and NosTale, have announced a partnership with Japanese developer Soleil to bring their third person shooter RockShot to Steam this June in North America and Europe.
RockShot takes players to a world devastated by an orbital collision, where gangs of rockers and ruffians constantly fight explosive firefights for supremacy. Players will work together in their gangs to co-ordinate their attacks, take out the enemy and expand their turf.
In the game’s Raid mode, players can design and build their own bases and then try to defend it against other gangs; alternatively, they can set out to test their mettle against the defences of another player’s base. There’s even an easy to learn base editor that will enable bases to be built quickly and efficiently.
There will be a huge amount of weapons at the player’s disposal, from standard issue firearms and machine guns to wild melee weapons like katanas and even electric guitars. If that wasn’t enough variety there are also airstrikes that can be called in.
As well as the raid mode RockShot also features various PvP and PvE game modes such as Team Deathmatch and Free 4 All, there will also be more crazy modes that will rotate every few weeks.
“We’re very proud to be adding another high-caliber action title to our portfolio,” said Alexander Rösner, CEO of Gameforge. “RockShot is an innovative shooter which is bound to set a few new trends. We’re excited to hear the community’s feedback during the Early Access phase. It’s only by working together with the players that we’ll be able to offer a truly solid title.”
“Gameforge is extremely experienced in the world of free-to-play titles and provides extensive coverage in the Western Hemisphere, making them the ideal partner for us,” said Yoshifuru Okamoto, CEO of Soleil. “We want to establish RockShot in western markets and add our contribution to the genre’s continued evolution. In this we’re extremely grateful to Gameforge for the devotion and understanding they’ve shown to RockShot from the very beginning, and we’re looking forward to rocking the world together.”
