Once Ryan McCaffrey announced that a new AAA game by a major developer would be revealed today on IGN First speculation ran rife about what it would be and who the developers were. Well now we have an answer.
Agents of M.A.Y.H.E.M is the newest game from developer Volition. Volition, who are best known for the Saints Row series, have been awfully quiet since the last release in that series a year ago. However that has now all changed.
Agents of M.A.Y.H.E.M. has some of the traits you would expect from a Volition game. Urban landscapes, an open-world, action, humour and whimsy are all present in this new title as you control a squad of three unique characters. These characters each have their own unique abilities which must be used in tandem with one another to beat back the bad guys, the villainous moustache-twirling megalomaniacs known as L.E.G.I.O.N.
That is not say you are playing the good guys though. The game is taking nods from characters like the Punisher and the Suicide Squad by making the agents antiheroes, which from the look of the debut trailer below definitely adds a certain charm to the game.
Little to nothing is known about how the game will play and handle, with more details expected later this month. All that is currently known is that it will be an exclusively single-player game with guns, gadgets and the aforementioned abilities. Stay tuned to the site though as we will be sure to be keeping an eye on this game.
