Daybreak Games Acquires Upcoming ‘Alien’ Shooter Developer Cold Iron Studios
It’s been a long time (a little over one year, to be exact) since we heard anything regarding Cold Iron Studios and their work on their upcoming MMO shooter based in the Aliens universe. That’s changed now that the team has switched hands from FoxNext Games to Daybreak Games.
Daybreak Games are better known as the minds behind DC Universe Online, which may in fact be of benefit to Cold Iron Studios. Not to worry about the game, as development is still continuing, with the title still planned to hit both PC and consoles in the future. Daybreak will serve as a publisher for Cold Iron moving forward, and the studio itself will largely continue to be run on its own.
The story goes that when Disney ended up purchasing Fox, FoxNext Games was eventually sold off to a company called Scopely earlier this year. Scopely in turn decided it wanted to shop Cold Iron around for potential buyers, which ended up being Daybreak.
“Daybreak and Cold Iron share the same passion and long history for delivering action-packed multiplayer games for audiences worldwide,” said Cold Iron Studios co-founder Craig Zinkievich regarding the move. “In combining our decades of experience developing and launching globally successful multiplayer titles, we’re destined to make great games together.”
There’s still no word on any further news regarding the game itself, but hopefully that changes in the near future.
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
