A group of former Just Cause developers are creating a new MOBA title, Darkbreed, which will feature hero customisation and RPG features.
Stefan Ljungqvist, a former developer for Avalanche Studios who worked on the popular Just Cause 2, explained why the team decided to enter the increasingly competitive MOBA game market.
“Talking to friends, I realized I wasn’t the only one wanting this, so we decided to make it. Also, this was our chance to make a darker themed MOBA for hardcore gamers like ourselves and bring in some additional RPG gameplay features,” said Ljungqvist in a press release yesterday.
“After a decade of making triple A action console games, it feels good to return to your roots,” continues Stefan, who also has a background as a pen-and-paper RPG and miniatures games designer. “It feels great to make monsters again!”
Here’s the game’s announcement trailer. Definitely a touch of Diablo II there in the Gothic setting.

Deadbreed is currently offering places for an upcoming closed Beta.
