Looks like the greatest studio on earth is working on something new:

Interesting.
Not sure bout that aesthetic though.

Deathversity!

I like the aesthetic! Look forward to seeing some gameplay.

What aesthetic? It's a few bits of concept art and a pre-rendered cinematic. It's like gauging Quake 2's art style from its opening movie.
Anyway, I love the concept, there's a bunch of really cool things that could come out of this that *aren't* GaaS related. I hope.

I was referring to all the colored lighting and the funky 70's-feeling of the graphical 2D elements. I'm assuming(hoping) these will carry over into the final product.

I'd hope so too, but it's a bit early to say what the aesthetic even is without a gameplay video. We can guess it'll most probably be painterly/hyper-realism like Dishonored 2, or abstract sketchwork like the concept art, but that's still a guess at this point.

Cross-posting this: So we've got Escape from NY, Edge of Tomorrow, and Highlander/Mr. & Mrs. Smith set in Antarctica. I mean I'd play it.
Looking at it again, this short trailer didn't really capture me all that much. I mean it looks great and the gameplay looks polished. But it also has the flavor of a perpetual deathmatch, and can a story progress if you keep respawning? And if there is no real story, what's keeping me in this world? But Arkane has such a good track record that I'm willing to give it a chance and expect good things.

I have no idea what the game is. My initial thought was maybe it was The Crossing mixed with Mooncrash. Maybe you progress through a singleplayer mission-based adventure while other players are spawning in and trying to kill you, but when they do it resets the world and you keep your progress up to that point?

They're probably just iterating on what they did in Dishonored 2, where you can choose which character to play and they have different ability sets.
