[2024-02-20]: The game has been announced, which at first glance looks like Back to the Future meets Call of Duty, but there are many other similarities.

The game has been in development for over 4 years by a team of 20 using Unreal Engine. It is expected to be released later this year in Early Access. | [Source: Steam, tinyBuild]
