Game Preview: Enlisted coming in 2018

Upcoming Squad Based MMO Shooter Enlisted will be coming to Xbox Game Preview somtime in 2018.

Xbox Game Preview players will be able to strap on the boots of American, Soviet, and German soldiers, and jump into massive WWII battles with hundreds of soldiers and thousands of bullets flying everywhere. Enlisted’s unique game mechanics of an AI controlled squad transforms the traditional military multiplayer FPS game into a more realistic and chaotic warfare experience, making battles dynamic and massive. Enlisted offers several game modes for all tastes, from extended comprehensive battles through to more fast-paced action to Battle Royale.

“We want to widen the genre of realistic FPS to a bigger audience. Realism should not always mean lengthy preparation and an extended road to the first battle. Realism should be the battle conditions and weapon characteristics being close to reality, it’s in the active interaction with your team or squad, it’s in the massive battles, where you can lose hundreds of soldiers in one assault. This is what we aim for in Enlisted”, - said Alexander Polyakov, lead producer of Darkflow Software.

The Xbox Game Preview version of Enlisted will allow players to test out and enjoy several game modes: Invasion, Offensive, City Battle, and Battle Royale. “Invasion” will offer battles with asymmetrical gameplay, where two teams will need to complete different tasks: one will be capturing and holding a large territory, while the second will try to liquidate all the invaders. The mode will throw players right into the heart of the battle. Each player will form and lead a squad of AI controlled soldiers. Squad members will follow players commands and provide them with additional lives – every time the main character dies, the player will get full control of the nearest soldier from their squad. This will help a player get back to the battle in a blink and participate in the combat longer.

Those who prefer a more consistent and thoughtful webattle will enjoy “Offensive” mode. Here players will be able to build fortifications, drive vehicles, and use large caliber guns. The distances on the map will be greater than in “Invasion”, so the value of each decision and action will be higher. Players can also expect city battles for multiple numbers of participants.

The game will also feature a Battle Royale mode. This mode will include unique Team Battle Royale, where each of two teams will be representing one of the nations that fought in WW2. Players will be able to use heavy vehicles like tanks.

Guilty Spark: What is it?

Hi everyone Chris here or you may know me as Masofdas on social media and gaming platforms.
I've recently got back into the Xbox scene after being out of it for a long time and the thing I've noticed more than anything is I can't find news.

If I want to find general gaming news I can go to the likes of IGN for PlayStation Push Square or Nintendo Life for umm Nintendo.

But for Xbox outside of Microsoft's own Xbox Wire, I can't find much. That I've decided to have a go myself on bringing you news be it Game with Gold, Gold Deals, Game Preview, New X Enhanced Titles or anything in between.

I won't be doing reviews as I do them already for Gintendo.co.uk and my good friend EofGizmo also does them for Xbox on his blog.

I hope you find this useful and let me know what you think and how I can improve and what content you would like.
