Sci-fi, Top-Down Co-op Shooter ‘Livelock’ Coming to PC, PS4 and Xbox One

Perfect World Entertainment and Tuque Games have announced Livelock – a fast-paced cooperative top-down shooter combining intelligent action and unique characters that will be launching in 2016 simultaneously for PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Livelock transports players into the 22nd century, the age of the machine. Nearly a century after the cataclysm, humanity is on the brink of survival. Clusters – groups of corrupted machines control what remains of the earth, fighting each other in an infinite war over resources that now threatens the very planet itself. Players take control of a Capital Intellect, a human consciousness uploaded to large mechanical body. Armed with a unique arsenal of weapons and special abilities, the Capital Intellect must fight the corrupted machine Clusters and break the cycle of an infinite war, before humanity is forgotten in the annals of history.

This is the first game for Tuque, a small indie developer based out of Montreal. That would of course explain the name of the studio, a tuque being the charming Canadian word for a beanie. It’s cold out, don’t forget to put on your tuque, eh!
