Time for a very explosive ride
Disintegrationboasts a new hybrid genre, which is essentially an FPS with RTS elements. Lehto thinks this mix of styles will make Disintegration stand out amongst games like Destiny and Anthem,he said during a recent press conference.
“It’s a very different gameplay experience overall than any game out there on the market,” he said. “It’s a big risk we’re taking to build this game in and to try to fill this kind of niche that doesn’t exist at the moment. So I’m real excited for people to start playing the game and see what it is on its own merits, and how unique it really is.”

The game modes on offer are Zone Control - the typical A, B, C point capture - and Retrieval - as the name implies, you and your crew need to retrieve an object, and bring it to a seperate area to capture it. There are seven different crews to play as with unique abilities and play styles, and I’m quite partial to the one that looks like a ye olde knight.
The single-player has a promising story - set in a dystopian world where humans have had to put their brains in robots to survive, an evil faction of these bots wants to hunt any remaining natural humans to force them to integrate. You’ll play as a defect from the evil baddies, and need to work with other gravcycle crews to find a way to become human again, and ultimately save humanity. Unfortunately, the beta is just for multiplayer testing, so no single player just yet.
Regardless, if, like me, you’re still not sure about Disintegration’s multiplayer, having a go while it’s free in beta is definitely a good shout. The open beta is available for everyone on PCvia Steam, PS4 and Xbox One from 6pm GMT today until 7:59am on Sunday 2nd February. You can find out more on theDisintegration website.
