Hardware
Blackbird Interactive, featuring founders of Homeworld developer Relic, have started up a new, free-to-play RTS called Hardware. Blackbird has also released the first footage of the game showing a glimpse of the title's gameplay.
Hardware features the world of LM-27, where players salvage abandoned spaceships for cargo, which is then turned in for cash. The planet's harsh environment throws up its own challenges, and in this trailer, we see scavengers encounter some hostile forces. The trailer reveals some of the game's unit formations, camera control, and stylized look.
Hardware will begin its closed beta towards the end of the year, and the application process and pre-order packages are available at Blackbird's site.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
