Following a somewhat surprising reveal last summer, SEGA has finally showcased a bit of gameplay from Hyenas - the team's upcoming shooter being developed by Alien: Isolation dev Creative Assembly.
The roughly-two-minute trailer is viewable up above, and the clip has a clear focus on character abilities and the unique combos each player will be able to bring to the battlefield. Remember, Hyenas is hopping on the new 'Extraction Shooter' trend too - so think Escape from Tarkov but Overwatch-flavoured.
The gameplay here looks solid enough, but to our eye, Hyenas is doing absolutely nothing to stand out amongst the jam-packed shooter crowd at the moment. Last summer, we said we got Bleeding Edge vibes from this one, and this trailer hasn't done much to suppress those feelings.
Having said that, we do hope that Hyenas manages to find an audience and does well enough for SEGA - we've had plenty of failed FPS launches in recent years and we'd rather not add another one to the pile. If you'd like to test out Hyenas for yourself to see if it might stick, a PC beta kicks off on August 31, and you can sign up now via Steam.
What do you make of this Hyenas trailer? Afraid it might suffer against the competition? Let us know.

Looks pretty fun
So Prey Multiplayer
Yawn... another samey shooter that won't last longer than a year or two.
Multiplayer = yawn
I remember signing up for the beta on this about 18 months ago and I had some regular emails on it then they stopped.
So yet another "how do you do fellow teenagers" - the video game. Something copying popular trends with no originality. I can't imagine this becoming popular in a sea of games that look and play a lot like this.
I love online shooters. My generation made them popular on both PC and Console. But all these types of shooters these day’s just don’t interest me at all. Give me a new Gears of War and Quake Reboot. I don’t want or like battle royals at all. If i wanted to build i would play the sims. This game looks just ok. But not sure i will play it.
I've played in the alpha's guessing now it's in beta I'm allowed to some what talk about it. It's decent, feels very apex legends in terms of movement. It's fun, lovely Sega easter eggs and felt quite polished. Would love them to expand modes as people have said extraction shooters seem to be the zeit geist atm not sure what longevity they have.

Single-player is all i do too, yeah
Guaranteed 100% dead on arrival
