FragPunk (21)

Free-to-play multiplayer title FragPunk has been delayed on consoles, but the PC version is still on track for release today. Pre-loads are currently available and developer Bad Guitar Studio has confirmed 4 PM PST as the launch time.

It also provided a helpful map of global release timings. New York gains access at 7 PM EST and London at midnight GMT on March 7th. Other regions like Berlin, Sydney, New Zealand, and Japan will have to wait till their local time tomorrow to go hands-on with the title.

FragPunk is a 5v5 competitive shooter with realistic firearms and multiple characters (known as Lancers), each possessing unique abilities. It’s much like Riot Games’ Valorant, but the twist is the Shard Cards. Players can create a deck of cards and play them during rounds with enough Shard Points.

These provide effects like big heads for enemies, allowing for easier headshots, flipping the stage upside down, and even generating a black hole to bunch enemies together. Check out our closed beta impressions for more details.
