3/20/2023 0 Comments Arcadegeddon epicFor those who do not know, the game is primarily focused on fast-paced arena shooter mayhem with roguelite elements. I managed to sit down with IllFonic's Head of Creative Jarred Gerritzen and CEO Chuck Brungardt about what the Arcadegeddon full release will entail. Now, after so much time, effort, and carefully considered feedback from the community, IllFonic have announced that the game will be having its full release. While they were known for asymmetric multiplayer experiences like Predator: Hunting Grounds and the upcoming Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, Arcadegeddon is a fast-paced co-op shooter where you and up to 3 friends work together to shoot monsters, get loot, and take down bosses. It was a notable departure from the studio's prior output. Once we all agreed the fun we had created was going to live on and we were going to publish it on our own (for the first time), I sat down and cranked out the concept for Arcadegeddon during the last two weeks of the year.Back in July 2021, IllFonic Games released Arcadegeddon in Early Access on Epic Games Store and PlayStation 5. This game was my answer to the frustrating question, “How do we fight for our place in this universe?” And, at the same time, it was also an answer to quarantined life. This game needed to be a pure escape after the year we’ve had. Once the concept was done, I worked with our Art Director, Izaak Moody, to bring it all to life. With the Muppets, Gorillaz, and 90’s punk rock as its influence, we both wanted to capture a world like none other, that still felt like a nostalgic escape and that is how Arcadegeddon and Gilly’s Arcade was born. Gilly, the owner of a local arcade, is trying to save his business from a faceless mega-corporation. To do so he takes all the top arcade games and connects them all to make a super game, unfortunately, the mega-corporation, Fun Fun Co. You and your friends need to save the game and the last hometown arcade. This ever-evolving multiplayer shooter allows you to play solo or with up to three friends to explore multiple biomes, play mini-games, find hidden chests, and defeat numerous enemy types and boss levels. Arcadegeddon is a co-op multiplayer experience that provides a mix of PVE and PVP experiences that allows for all different speeds of play. As you continue to play you can take on additional challenges from the local “gangs” that hang out in Gilly’s Arcade. These will earn you much more than street cred. Speaking of street cred, earn your spot on the global leaderboards. One of my favorite parts of Arcadegeddon is the gangs within Gilly’s Arcade. There are nine different gangs to interact with. Each leader has their own individual style and a set of challenges for you to complete. Successful completion of these missions, if you choose to accept them, will unlock Surge Gauntlet Abilities to help you in defeating the arcade’s enemies. Not to mention once you complete their tasks you can pick up some sweet skins and sport their look as a sign that you really earned your street cred. If you’re looking to place on the global leaderboard, then these gang leader challenges are your key to success. How will Arcadegeddon play?Īs for how it will play, we are launching Arcadegeddon in Early Access.
