Saroasis Studios recently revealed its upcoming hero-based tactical shooter Fate Trigger: The Novita, and it is set to launch next year on consoles and mobile.
This new game is a free-to-play hero-based tactical battle royale shooter. That’s quite a mouthful, though based on the game’s reveal trailer, Fate Trigger can be described as a game that combines Fortnite’s gameplay with visuals that are reminiscent of HoYoverse titles.
This game is described as:
In a dynamic world of floating islands set against the sky, players will become sharpshooters with extraordinary skills, craft their own strategies and engage in thrilling, life-or-death showdowns. With specialized skills, a diverse array of innovative and original physics-based weapons and a unique open world, Fate Trigger: The Novita vows to deliver a visually gorgeous and fully immersive gaming experience.
The world has been fragmented into floating islands, threatened by a spreading Paleblight disaster that could destroy the battlefield at any moment. Players are chosen as “The Awakener” and will embark on a mission to uncover the deep-seated secrets of this new world and shoot to ultimate victory. Players can also fight solo or team up while venturing into aerial battlefields, where they can scavenge, craft the best weapons, unleash their shooting prowess and dominate their opponents.
“Our team at Saroasis Studios has put in a ton of energy, effort and love to create an exhilarating free-to-play experience for all players to enjoy,” said Jia Heng, Creative Director. “The upcoming launch is an incredible milestone for the company and we’re extremely excited to get Fate Trigger: The Novita into the hands of players worldwide.”
