Killing Floor developer working on high-player count Cold War game

Antimatter Games, the studio behind Killing Floor and Rising Storm: Vietnam, has revealed it is working on a high player count first-person military shooter named ‘83, that sees players fighting as part of a force of over 40 players against the opposing team. Set in an alternate timeline where the Cold War became volatile in the early eighties, ‘83 sets to offer players a massive battle like those enjoyed in popular battle royale games, but with teamplay offering a return to FPS traditions from the likes of Call of Duty and Battlefield. Antimatter has stated that players will be offered the chance to complete challenges across sprawling maps in every game, which can turn the tide of battle toward their team’s favour by creating “tangible impacts”. If the trailer is anything to go by, this means a lot of explosions that seem powerful enough to wipe out a handful of a team’s members. Players will also have access to a selection of air and land-infantry vehicles to help sway the course of battle, though Antimatter is yet to share just what we’ll be driving furiously around the map. The developers have also stated that realism-driven players will benefit from a huge array of weapons that are true to their real-world counterparts, including an accurate recoil and reload time.
