• First person only RPG confirmed. Described as role playing game in first person, NOT a first person shooter with bits of roleplaying sprinkled in.
  • Full character creation, including gender, body types, tattoos, etc.
  • NO class system, but you will be able to choose a "life path" (basically character backstory) and abilities from the traditional classes as you level up. "You basically craft your class as you play through the game".
  • Story is described as "very noir".
  • Day/night cycle and weather systems.
  • Some characters from 2020 will appear in the game.
  • All the classes will be present in the world, but the player will not be able to play as all of them.
  • Not a "save the world" story, focused on personal stories for the world and the main character.
  • Significantly more open than the 6 year silence, lots of interacting on social media and forums.
  • Both ranged and melee combat featured. Three main types of weapons: power weapons (traditional, current day weapons), tech weapons (focused on penetration), and "smart" weapons (track and follow targets).
  • Vehicles confirmed. Motorcycles and cars confirmed, but they won't talk about "other vehicles" yet.
  • Voiced character confirmed, sounds like a single voice actor for each character sex (think Mass Effect). Character will have "their own personality" but you will be able to shape it in the game.
  • Game world will be based on a 1980's sci fi vision, not exactly a modern day interpretation of the future.
  • Six unique "districts" inside the city, city won't feel the same all the time. Some areas will be nicer than others, and areas like Pacifica, an area that is totally run down.
  • "Megabuildings", which are like small districts by themselves.
  • No level scaling, and two forms of experience. Standard xp you gain from doing missions, and "street cred" which you get from side quests. Street cred gets you access to more "fixers" (quest givers).
