Digital Extremes, the creators of Warframe, have recently announced a new game. Keystone has a quirky retro science fiction look and combines the gameplay of a card game with a shooter.
With the science fiction shooter Warframe, the development studio Digital Extremes has a successful game in the running that generates significant profits and is still being developed further.
Therefore, Digital Extremes now has enough resources to develop a new game: Keystone.
Keystone – Overwatch meets Hearthstone?
Keystone is to be a shooter like Warframe, but also a card game: meaning a “card shooter”. You collect various cards and combine them into a deck that gives you advantages in the shooter, such as skills or weapons. However, not only your deck is relevant, you can also combine your cards with those of other players to create even more powerful decks. Additionally, Keystone takes place in a multiverse that resembles a game board.
The whole experience is garnished with a quirky 70s science fiction aesthetic, complete with space helmets featuring fin decorations, zap-laser pistols, and strange aliens. All of this sounds quite bizarre, and how it all looks in practice is still unknown. This week, on May 26th, the alpha phase of the game is set to start. On the official Keystone website, you can sign up for the alpha.
Jürgen says: The idea admittedly sounds more than strange, but I find the design of the game interesting so far. And Digital Extremes has impressively proven that they can develop good shooters with Warframe. I’m curious to see what kind of game Keystone will ultimately be.
