was announced in 2021 as a free-to-play shooter that"will provide an all new perspective on the universe in a new setting." Details beyond that were basically non-existent but I speculated at the time that it would be a battle royale of some sort. Today we got our first proper look at it in a"developer deep dive video," and it seems that I was a little off the mark.
And despite its small size, Silver Creek faces a lot of the same problems as the big cities of the nation, including"a hostile environment filled with deadly contamination, roaming enemy hordes, and the looming threat of sickness and dehydration." There are also no good restaurants. Other potentially interesting ideas in Heartland include the addition of a day/night cycle during each play session: In the day you'll explore, scavenge for materials, complete various objectives, and of course shoot people; at night, the dangers and the violence will increase, as you'll face off against rogue NPCs and"newly hostile players.
holy shit it actually exists
