Welcome to the Bleeding Edge of Team Combat!
From the studio behind DmC: Devil May Cry and Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice comes Bleeding Edge, a fast and frenetic 4 vs 4 team brawler where every fighter comes mechanically enhanced for mayhem!
Choose your fighter and join a team of super-charged renegades from the edges of society: burn rubber as bold and beautiful Buttercup with her detachable sawblade arms, tear it up as Black Metal rocker Nidhöggr with his electrifying guitar solos, or slash up the streets as New York’s most wanted ninja, Daemon.
The cybernetic clash of the century is about to begin!
4 v 4 Team Fighter
Experience one of a kind multiplayer that fuses combo mechanics with dynamic 3rd person action. Team up and execute powerful synergised attacks to become an unstoppable force in the face of your enemies – freeze foes in time, control minds, ride missiles and unleash electrifying guitar solos in a fast-paced yet strategic combat system that rewards technique, timing, and teamwork.
Treacherous Terrain
Use your environment to your advantage with deadly arena hazards and gain the upper hand in moments of chaos. Yank opponents into a high voltage electric fence with Buttercup’s buzzsaw whilst Daemon lies stealthily in wait. Charge enemy aggressors into the path of an oncoming train with Makutu’s shoulder barge. Trap careless enemies within Maeve’s magical cage and light a raging fire beneath their very feet.
Mod Your Combat, Show Your Style
Give yourself an edge by creating unique load-outs for every fighter. Choose from hundreds of cybernetic mods to fully tailor your build to suit your personal play style, all earnable through gameplay. Customise each fighter’s hoverboard with blazing trails, unique stickers and slick paint jobs to ride with style across the arena.
AUTHOR’S NOTES
I worked on this game in early 2017, developing backstory for the game world and writing dialogue scripts for the main characters. Previously, I worked with developers Ninja Theory on Pigsy’s Perfect 10 (a downloadable content pack for Enslaved: Odyssey to the West), a cancelled DC superheroes game and Disney Infinity 3.0 Star Wars.
Bleeding Edge was my first experience of working on a “fighter” game, and I loved the wild cyberpunk designs of the characters! Part of the fun of this project was getting to create histories and narratives for these personas and bring them to life.
