The only thing I know about it so far is that it's going to initially release a 400 player Battle Royale, and then followed by a 1000 player MMOFPS. It's also supposed to have heavy AI and RPG elements (https://twitter.com/hashtag/improbablegdc?f=tweets&vertical=default&src=hash)

Edit: the only AI I know of so far is "simulated creatures", see the twitter link above.

I'm not interested in the Battle Royale much, but as far as the MMOFPS this is all I know so far. Where the combat falls on the arcade to milsim spectrum I don't know, whether it will be a military shooter or some kind of post-apocalyptic survival game I don't know.

LevelCapGaming on YouTube did an intro video on this several weeks ago and it piqued my interest so I signed up for their newsletter. They did say in their March newsletter from a few days ago, that "closed beta sign-ups are set to begin shortly."

There hasn't been more info released since I posted really, but, re-reading what IS posted, it appears this is going to heavily be an RPG on the MMO side. Has there ever been an MMORPG with true shooter mechanics? Of course, it's only an assumption that there will be "true" shooter mechanics, unless you guys have seen more info than me, I didn't see that detail yet.
