Blue Dot Games has shared the first episode from its Developer Tapes series for the upcoming game ’83. This squad-based tactical first-person shooter is set in an alternate 1983, where the Cold War escalates into a full-scale conflict. The introduction video offers players a sneak peek before the Steam Early Access release, which is scheduled later this year.
A Tactical “What If” Battlefield
’83’ is a game that follows in the footsteps of Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, developed by several team members from the same group.
In this game, the weapons have been designed to mimic their real-world behavior in terms of ballistics, penetration, recoil, and handling. The equipment, clothing, and vehicles are also historically accurate, contributing to a more genuine gaming experience.
Accessible Realism
83, developed by Blue Dot Games, is centered around the concept of “approachable realism.” The developers strive for a high level of realism while ensuring the game remains enjoyable. Each match typically spans 30 to 40 minutes. Death briefly removes you from play, but this temporary absence can significantly impact the course of the fight.
Collaboration plays an essential part in success. It’s crucial for Squad Leaders to harmonize plans promptly and effectively make decisions under stressful situations. Regardless if you’re a soldier on the frontlines or a high-ranking officer supervising operations, every role contributes significantly to the overall outcome.
Reviving the Vision
Blue Dot Games is an autonomous studio boasting substantial expertise in tactical shooting games. This team has contributed significantly to highly-regarded titles such as Red Orchestra and Rising Storm. In 2023, they obtained the rights for the game ‘‘83‘ following the shutdown of its original developer, Antimatter Games. Since then, they’ve reimagined the project with a new creative outlook and modernized technical approach.
