When is the Hyenas release date? Hyenas is a brand new, inventive FPS from Creative Assembly, the team behind Alien Isolation and a number of PC strategy games. Set in space, the game tasks you with hunting down merchandise and facing off against other players to be the last team surviving.
So far, we haven’t seen much of the game when it comes to public showcases. But, Creative Assembly is consistently holding private closed playtests. This has meant some information has come out and even gameplay has leaked! This article will chronicle all that information over time as we lead up to the Hyenas release date. So, be sure to keep coming back for the latest information on the game, which might enter the list of the best competitive FPS games.
Hyenas release date rumours
The Hyenas release date hasn’t been officially confirmed yet. But, it is set for sometime in 2023, which has been confirmed by Creative Assembly on the game’s Steam page.
Providing the game hasn’t been delayed, we should hear news on a date sometime this Summer. Creative Assembly still has a lot to show off for the game and public playtests will almost certainly happen before it comes out. The studio also has to announce platforms for the game beyond PC and “consoles”, which is rather vague.
Hyenas story
The story of Hyenas takes place after the earth is ruined. The rich decide to colonise Mars and the rest of humanity is living their dreadful lives on an orbiting slum called The Taint. Trying to gain status in the world, you can purchase priceless pop-culture artifacts salvaged from ruined Earth to be sold on a massive retail ship called the ‘Plundership’.
As a pack of robbers, the Hyenas are talented at stealing these items and aiming to hit the Mars elite where it hurts. Where it hurts being grabbing a bunch of old SEGA merchandise for franchises like Sonic The Hedgehog, Super Monkey Ball, Jet Set Radio, and more.
Hyenas gameplay
We haven’t yet seen much official gameplay of Hyenas, besides the original reveal in 2022. However, a large amount of gameplay has leaked online showing the Zero-G combat, online matches, and more. But, for now, you can see the gameplay from IGN.
Hopefully, we should get an official look at gameplay soon once the closed alpha tests stop being under NDA.
In addition to detailing the targeted Hyenas release date, Creative Assembly has shown off a lot on the game, this includes the fact that they have been working with Drag Queens on the Galaxia character in the game to help bring her to life. In addition, after our time with Hyenas at Gamescom 2022 we came away keen on the game but highlighted that it needs to focus on its key features, rather than crafting a familiar marketing plan for the shooter.
