That’s all we’ve got for now. thirty first Union is the San Francisco-based, 2K-owned studio established as 2K Silicon Valley again in 2019 earlier than a reputation change a yr later. It was arrange by ex-Sledgehammer Video games co-founder Michael Condrey, who earlier than engaged on Name of Responsibility was one in all the chief builders of EA’s Useless House collection at Visceral Video games.
Project Ethos launches into the extremely aggressive hero shooter market at a time when it has already claimed plenty of high-profile casualties. Rocksteady’s troubled Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League flopped to the tune of $200 million, and Sony’s Harmony has gone down as one in all the most disastrous launches in PlayStation historical past. 2K and dad or mum firm Take-Two will after all be hoping to keep away from an analogous destiny when Project Ethos comes out.
This isn’t 2K’s first stab at a hero shooter, after all. It revealed Gearbox’s ill-fated Battleborn in Might 2016, nevertheless it finally crumbled beneath the overwhelming dominance of Blizzard’s Overwatch. Battleborn ultimately went darkish in January 2021.
For Take-Two, Project Ethos is however one in all plenty of video games it has in the works, together with Firaxis’ Civilization 7, Ken Levine’s new recreation, Judas, Gearbox’s Borderlands 4, Hangar 13’s Mafia: The Previous Nation, Cloud Chamber’s BioShock sequel, and the large one, Rockstar’s GTA 6.
