Coming out to announce their upcoming game is a new AAA game studio called C77 Entertainment. This studio is helmed by industry veterans from the likes of EA DICE, 343 Industries, and Bungie. With team members from industry leaders in the first-person shooter genre, there is a lot of hope and excitement to come with the announcement of Project Slingshot.

This project promises a uniquely fresh take on the FPS genre. In a new IP, players are invited to enter a world where corporations rule, using battles to settle their differences to devastating effect. Capitalizing on the chaos, big business monetizes their thirst for power by televising the combat to an adoring TV audience, with players fighting for fame and the will to survive. An objective-based 16v16 sandbox sets up an experience like no other when gamers pick their weapon of choice and enter the adrenaline-fueled combat of the new world.

If you are interested in checking out Project Slingshot as early as possible, they are inviting interested players to sign up for their upcoming Alpha testing phase. Check the game’s website for more details.

C77’s CEO Mattias Kylén, previous Multiplayer Level Lead behind many fan-favorite Battlefield maps including Operation Metro, Grand Bazaar, Siege of Shanghai, Caspian Border, and more, commented on this new project,

“We’re thrilled to announce Project Slingshot, a game we have poured our hearts and soul into. Entering private Alpha testing is an important milestone for us, as we finally get to lift the lid on what we’ve been working on. A new multiplayer IP of this scale is a huge undertaking, and the private Alpha testing gives us the opportunity to test, tweak and improve performance. We’re focused on evolving the genre with ideas we’re excited about, rather than chasing trends which we believe gamers will rightly reject. We want to build our community with honesty and integrity, using the feedback we receive to craft a better FPS which we’re confident gamers will love.”

It is definitely intriguing to hear of a new project, and with such a promising team behind it. I’ll be signing up for Project Slingshot’s alpha testing to see for myself. How do you feel about this new game and studio announcement?
