So, after a fair bit of hype from IGN about Creative Assembly's next project, the Alien: Isolation dev has finally unveiled its new game and, well, it's not exactly what we were expecting. Hyenas is a new multiplayer shooter coming to Xbox in 2023, and it's also about stealing from rich folk, apparently!
Alongside the reveal, publisher SEGA dropped a cinematic trailer for Hyenas, although it doesn't show much about the game itself, all told. Stylistically it reminded us straight away of Bleeding Edge, which is probably not a favourable comparison to have right out of the gate.
Still, we'll reserve full judgement until the game drops; sometime next year. The team has outlined three core features for Hyenas, detailed here:
Fight In Zero-G
Take out rival teams in epic Zero-G battles. Become a master of Zero-G combat FTW!
Steal Epic Merch
Team up with your pack to steal priceless pop culture loot from the Mars billionaires and rival crews.
Escape To Win
Use unique skills and abilities to face-off in fast-paced battles in bid to secure your stolen merch, ESCAPE TO WIN, BABY!
Are you intrigued by Hyenas? Or a little disappointed by its reveal? Let us know down below.

It's around that time where all the Loot Shooter Destiny clones that have been in development for the last 4-5ish years are being announced to little or zero fanfare.
Feel sorry for the devs, never fun announcing a game to get poor feedback immediately. That said, game companies shouldn't always try to imitate the next fast buck. Thankfully the PC Total War side of Creative Assembly means the company isn't at risk if this flops. I just wish the team could have been cooking something a little more original than just "another looter shooter" these past few years. Shame.
Anyone else tired of competitive multiplayer shooters, or is it just me?
This developer came up with the scariest AI opponent I have ever faced in a video game. They couldn't have taken that knowledge and come up with something else (even if it wasn't an Alien Isolation 2 as not EVERYTHING needs a sequel)?!
Oh well, I hope it pays off for the developer (but I won't hold my breath).
i just...i don't feel like we needed another one of these. Sega has a MOUNTAIN of franchises they could have had these people work on. this looks like it was conceived in a marketing meeting.
@GamingFan4Lyf I’m tired of what multiplayer shooters have become but it’ll be a long time before an AI is as good as a human to play against in the genre.
left me feeling completely uninterested. Its not something I want to play at all - even if its completely Free to Play...
Maybe it will find its audience, but I won't be amongst them
Sega cancelled shinning force remake for this?
