 Funcom and Swedish developer The Bearded Ladies have released a new video explaining the concept behind their upcoming tactical adventure game, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden.
The seamless transition between combat and exploration means players are sometimes able to sneak into enemy camps, setting up advantageous positions before entering a fight.
The video also looks at the game’s hub world, known as the Ark, where players can relax and upgrade weapons and equipment, and mutations - abilities that grant special powers to characters during combat. PC players who pre-order the standard version of the game will be granted three days early access ahead of release, while pre-ordering the digital deluxe version also gets you access to an exclusive beta next month. More information on both editions can be found here. Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is out 4 December on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
