FRANKFURT, Germany May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Gunzilla Games announced today OTG (Off The Grid), an all-new AAA Battle Royale

third person shooter, due for release on PlayStation®5, Xbox® Series X|S and

PC, and expected to arrive in 2023.

Set within a dystopian future, the cyberpunk-styled shooter plans to evolve the

genre through strong emphasis on narrative progression, led by Chief Visionary

Officer Neill Blomkamp and Script Writer Richard K. Morgan. In addition,

industry veteran Olivier Henriot (Far Cry, Assassin's Creed) assumes the role

of Executive Narrative Director, ensuring a wealth of top-tier talent to bring

the world of OTG to life.

A Battle Royale like no other, in OTG, 150 players fight each other in PvP

(Player Vs Player) skirmishes, as well as PvE (Player Vs Environment) storyline

missions using the same map inhabited by other players in real-time. Players

have the freedom to control how the hard-boiled story unfolds, with each

decision made directly impacting everyone's gameplay. Core to the experience

and deep narrative structure is the unique way in which players can craft,

customize, and trade their in-game items with each other. In OTG, the lines

between hero and villain become blurred as players fight to survive the covert

corporate battles of the future.

Commenting on OTG, Neill Blomkamp, CVO said, "With OTG, our ambition is not

only to create the Battle Royale 2.0 by adding deep player progression, but to

build an evolving world designed to take on a life of its own, changing in

unexpected ways each time a player rejoins the game. With an innovative

approach to the Battle Royale core session flow and a deep narrative

experience, we add purpose to each element of the game, allowing players to

revisit the OTG world repeatedly where there is always something new to find

and explore, and for us to expand upon."

Further information on OTG will be announced in the coming months. To make sure
