Multi-character sandbox shenanigans
Agents of Mayhemmust’ve slipped off my radar, but it’s back on now. Gosh I hope this turns out well.
Today’s trailer better introduces three of the game’s dozen playable characters: Hollywood, Fortune, and Hardtack, who you might recognize from Volition’s prior marketing materials.
In the lore, these were the first three agents recruited for the evil-stopping M.A.Y.H.E.M., and in the game proper, you’ll have access to a team of three characters at any given time when you’re completing missions or roaming open-world Seoul. So, if you don’t like the look or sound of Hollywood, for instance, you can go with someone else (and based onSteven’s preview, I’ll be doing just that.)
I have such a soft spot for theSaints Rowfranchise — even the first one, which I’m sure has not aged particularly well. As much as I probably would keep playing direct sequels, it’s wonderful to see Volition build on that ridiculous third-person shooter foundation with something a little different.
