Amazon Games and Relentless Studios last week announced Crucible, a free-to-play team-based shooter in the works packed with robots, aliens, and an "ever-changing planet". Now, the studios have unveiled two of the ten-strong roster of Hunters that'll feature at the PvPvE game's launch – a "solid guy" with a jet-pack-quad-cannon-cross named after his wife, and a "deadly marksman" with a penchant for harpooning and ranged kills.
The two Hunters have been revealed in their own spotlight clips, both of which you can check out below, starting with the "son of a gun", Earl. As announced in his clip, Earl's title is "Just Earl", reflecting his simple but meaty playstyle. "Every operation has got an Earl", the clip explains. "You know, a family guy just in it for a living, happy to pal around when he's off the clock. Though, you know, when the chips are down, he is a real son of a gun."
Earl's speciality is based around his "scratch-built quad cannon" called Misty – after his wife – which, along with pumping out hundreds of rounds every minute, also deals explosions to knock opponents out of the way and doubles as a jet propulsion device.
Take a look at Crucible's "solid guy", Earl, below:
Ajonah, on the other hand, is known as "The Ocean's Whisper" – the "reef that splits the current". She's a sniper raider and a "deadly marksman" armed with a harpoon-style weapon who's best suited to taking out foes from a distance.
She's also a nimble Hunter, with a grappling hook to help her whip across the game's map quickly and reach some all-important vantage points to scope out enemies. She's also got other handy kit in her arsenal, such as flying mines to "distract and damage enemies" as well as a "jamming shroud" to protect both the Hunter herself and nearby allies from harm. Meet Ajonah below:
if you're excited to give the Hunters a go, luckily the best multiplayer games to find something to play while you wait.
