The Technomancer by Focus Home Interactive and Spiders Studios is set to release this Summer according to a release made today. It's the first narrowing down to a specific window we've heard other than simply "2016". A new trailer today also shows some gameplay and what life and death on Mars is truly like.
In The Technomance, you'll be on the run from a corrupt police force in the future on an attempt to find out what happened to the colonists who settled there. The combat system features both active and passive upgrades, an in depth crafting system and multiple skills for the protagonist Zachariah to learn. Each of the combat styles can be imbued with electrical Technomancer powers, buffing their damage, as well as Zachariah being able to directly use his skills in battle, electrocuting, knocking out in stealth, and pounding back his foes on the Red Planet.
It's not all about the combat, though, with a deep, modular crafting system changing the visible and active qualities of clothing and weapons from scrap you find on Mars. Cut off from Earth for 120 years, Mars is a world in conflict, with many different cultures and communities – and the games weapons and clothing reflect this quality, with jury rigged and make-shift weapons and armor, designed for survival, or militaristic rule!
From melee combat skills to active and passive abilities, everything can be unlocked and upgraded in the ability tree, where you'll be able to improve the games' three combat styles, and also your Technomancer abilities as you level up and gain XP.
The Technomancer will release this Summer on PS4, Xbox One and PC
