Project Astrid: Everything we know about shroud\u2019s AAA survival FPS game YouTube: Splash DamageProject Astrid, a survival FPS game from superstar gaming figures shroud and Sacriel, is now in the works as the two have paired with a UK studio to make an ambitious AAA title in the space. From early gameplay details to a look at the team involved, here\u2019s everything we know thus far. More and more influencers are jumping into the game development side of the industry of late. From DrDisrespect\u2019s DEADROP to Project X from 100 Thieves, and Project Honor from OTK, many of the internet\u2019s biggest gaming stars are attaching their names to homegrown titles. Now, two more have joined the ranks. Streaming veteran Sacriel and FPS icon shroud have teamed up with a UK-based developer to create their very own AAA release. Focusing on the survival genre with crisp FPS gunplay at its core, Project Astrid is shaping up to be their \u201cdream\u201d game. Although it\u2019s still early into the development roadmap, we already have a good idea of what to expect from the upcoming release, so here\u2019s all there is to know about Project Astrid. Contents Does Project Astrid have a release date? – What platforms will Project Astrid launch on? – What is Project Astrid? Early gameplay details – Project Astrid developers – Project Astrid engine confirmed – Project Astrid: When is Shroud\u2019s new survival game coming out? Currently, Project Astrid doesn\u2019t have a solid release date nor a rough release window. Given the ambitious AAA title was only just unveiled in March 2023, it\u2019s still early days yet. However, those involved have shared some insight into just how far along the game already is. Project Astrid has already been in the pipeline for \u201calmost two years,\u201d shroud revealed on stream shortly after the announcement. Both internet celebs have been involved over the course of that period as early development has been underway. This could indicate a potential 2025-2026 release if the team is beginning to knuckle down with full development now that it\u2019s public. However, much remains unclear about their plans for launch, meaning we could see an early access build go live much earlier, or be left waiting for the finished product down the line. We\u2019ll be sure to keep you posted here as any further release date details are nailed down for Project Astrid. Do we know what platforms Project Astrid will release on? At this point in time, there\u2019s no telling what platforms Project Astrid is targeting for release. While PC appears to be a lock, given shroud and Sacriel\u2019s history in the space, it\u2019s unclear if fans on console can expect a version of the game across Xbox and PlayStation hardware. Historically, the studio bringing Project Astrid to life has focused on PC development, meaning we\u2019ll more than likely see the survival FPS arrive there first. As for what comes down the line, however, is anyone\u2019s guess for the time being. What is Project Astrid? New game from shroud & Sacriel explained In basic terms, Project Astrid has been described as an open-world survival shooter, but with a AAA twist. Think along the lines of DayZ or Escape from Tarkov, titles with an emphasis on open-world exploration, looting, and crisp FPS gunplay. That\u2019s the key focus for shroud and Sacriel, just with a flair not yet seen in the space before given their AAA capabilities. \u201cMake the best game ever, that\u2019s my goal,\u201d shroud said in the reveal video. Discussing it further, he then went on to call it his \u201cdream\u201d game, combining all his favorite elements from titles he\u2019s become synonymous with over the years. Be it the \u201creally important\u201d gunplay mechanics found in the likes of CSGO, or intense survival features across industry staples like EFT, shroud is looking to bring it all together in a way \u201cnot really seen in the industry before.\u201d Specifics in regard to setting, lobby sizes, and the like are all being kept under wraps for now. Though one thing shroud has clarified right out of the gate, is that Project Astrid will not be reliant on NFTs. \u201cThere\u2019s gonna be no frickin\u2019 NFTs in Project Astrid,\u201d he confirmed. \u201cIt\u2019s not happening.\u201d Who is developing Project Astrid with shroud & Sacriel? Project Astrid is being developed by London-based studio Splash Damage. Founded in 2001, the UK team is responsible for the likes of Dirty Bomb, Brink, and even having worked on major IPs like Halo and Gears of War, specifically working on PC ports and multiplayer components respectively. Setting the bar high, shroud assured Project Astrid is \u201cdefinitely a AAA game\u201d due to the sheer size of Splash Damage. With over 450 in-house employees and a further 100 acquired in the recent purchase of Bulkhead studios, there\u2019s no shortage of talent working to bring this new game to life. What engine is Project Astrid being built on? While exact gameplay details are scarce for now, we do know for certain the game is being built from the ground up on Unreal Engine 5. Shroud himself confirmed as much while live on Twitch shortly after the project\u2019s big reveal. \u201cWhat engine? It\u2019s being built on Unreal Engine 5,\u201d the popular streamer revealed. As the latest developer toolkit from Epic Games, UE5 is being adopted by many industry-leading studios and now we know Splash Damage is no different. That\u2019s all we know about shroud\u2019s very own survival FPS now in development, but be sure to check back often as we\u2019ll update you here with all the latest details as they emerge.
