The gaming industry is reeling from the impact of Escape from Tarkov, a game that’s changed the landscape. Dave Oshry, co-founder of New Blood Interactive, made the tongue-in-cheek comment on the Quad Damage Podcast. New Blood Interactive is behind popular retro FPS games like ULTRAKILL, Blood West, and AMID EVIL.
Hidetaka Miyazaki’s recent interest in creating a multiplayer game inspired by Escape from Tarkov has sparked a new project, The Duskblood. Oshry joked that this trend could be detrimental to the industry, as it shifts focus towards a specific type of gameplay.
The Rise of Extraction Shooters
Extraction shooters, like Escape from Tarkov, combine PvP and PvE elements with a focus on extracting valuable loot. The Duskblood follows a similar gameplay mechanic, where players fight against both human opponents and enemies to extract valuable items from a designated area.
The game’s trailer shows intense action and strategic gameplay, leaving fans eager to see more.
What’s Next?
The Duskblood’s success is uncertain, and the future of extraction shooters hangs in the balance. As the gaming community waits with bated breath, one thing is clear: the industry is evolving, and players are eager to see what’s next. Only time will tell if The Duskblood will make a lasting impact.
