It’s been a long time since we’ve seen hide nor tail of BattleCry, the debut game from the studio of the same name. That may be because the game has actually been cancelled. As Twinfinite reports, according to the LinkedIn profile of David Dobert, an Embedded QA Designer at BattleCry Studios, the free-to-play multiplayer game has officially ceased development.

Twinfinite has done some other digging around too, and has discovered that the website for the game, as well as the Twitter account, now no longer exist- the Twitter account was apparently last online in September, while the website was last online in October. It is now clear that BattleCry Studios is working on a new game, one that is also coming to the PS4 and Xbox One- but what exactly that game may be remains unclear for now.

Does the cancellation of BattleCry disappoint you? Let us know in the comments section.

Remember Battlecry, the free to play multiplayer shooter from the newly formed Battlecry Studios that was backed by Bethesda Softworks? We haven’t heard much about the game, which was touted to feature 32 player battles and fast-paced third person gunfights, since new footage was showcased at E3 2015.

Now it seems that Bethesda is re-evaluating its objectives for the game. According to a statement given to the Progress Bar, a Bethesda representative said that, “We have concerns about the Battlecry game and whether it is meeting the objectives we have for it. We are evaluating what improvements the game needs to meet our quality standards.”

Even if Battlecry doesn’t work out, it seems the development team is plenty busy with “multiple projects”. Hopefully one of its games eventually pans out and releases worldwide. Until then, stay tuned for more information on the status of Battlecry in the coming months and let us hear what you think in the comments.

Remember BattleCry, BattleCry Studios’ third person action MOBA of sorts? The Bethesda Softworks produced multiplayer title fell off the map shortly after its announcement but re-emerged during the company’s E3 2015 press conference. A new trailer featuring gameplay was released and sign-ups for the worldwide beta have gone live.

The trailer features some of the game’s classes including the Monk, Enforcer, Ranger, Infiltrator and more. The combat arenas are interesting, mixing steam-punk with Oriental looking backgrounds. If nothing else, we got a small glimpse of the action with each class bringing something interesting to the table. When can we expect an official release date for PC? That remains to be seen but you can head here for the official beta sign-ups.

What are your thoughts on the trailer for BattleCry and its current status? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more coverage from E3 2015 as the show goes underway.

Battlecry, a free to play multiplayer title in the vein of Team Fortress 2 from Bethesda Softworks and Battlecry Studios, will be heading to PC. An early beta is scheduled for early 2015 but executive producer Rich Vogel told Gamestop at E3 that it could come to consoles eventually.

“We’ll be releasing PC first, but we have controllers on the show floor. It’s all set up for consoles, it’s something that we’re seriously going to be looking at after the PC launch.

“This game cries to be on console, because we got all of our inspiration from console games. A lot of our team has experience doing consoles, don’t be surprised to see it there. We definitely see this game playing well on consoles.”

Battlecry will be set in the early 20th century where gun powder has been banned and battles are waged in select war zones. What are your thoughts on the game thus far? Let us know in the comments.

Bethesda Softworks has finally revealed its next big project. No, it’s not Fallout 4 but a 32-player multiplayer action title developed by BattleCry studios called – oddly enough – BattleCry. This will be the studio’s first project and will be a free to play team-based competitive title. If that wasn’t enough, the art direction is being handled by Viktor Antonov of Half Life 2 and Dishonored fame.

In BattleCry, you’ll choose your own faction – the Royal Marines or the Cossacks – and choose your own abilities as you rank up. You’ll be able to use different weapons like swords that can transform into shields, electro-static blades and much more.

President and executive producer at BattleCry Studios Rich Vogel stated that, “The BattleCry team is happy to unveil the game that bears our studio’s name. We have been hard at work to create a fresh experience for gamers that brings together multiplayer action with visually stunning combat and are excited to share details about the game and have people play BattleCry in Bethesda’s booth at E3.”

BattleCry is set for a beta release in 2015. Thoughts? Tell us below.

@K80Blog That's awesome! We just started a new project, I can't wait to see what happens next!

Arkane Studios is responsible for the highly acclaimed first person action adventure Dishonored and through a series of leaks, it has been revealed that the developer is working on Prey 2 from scratch. Rumours have also been circulating that the developer could be working on Dishonored 2.

Battlecry Studios was established in 2012 and MMO veteran Rich Vogel at the helm, whose previous experience includes Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies. Through a series of job listings looking for those experienced with “micro-transactions”, it has been rumoured that the studio is working on a free-to-play title.

It will certainly be interesting to see what these developers can come up with and whether they’d be able to tap into the power of CryEngine or not. Stay tuned for more details.

Currently, Battlecry is looking for an Environmental Artist, Senior/Lead Environmental Artist, VFX Artist, Character Artist, Senior Technical Designer, Senior Systems Designer, Systems Designer, Associate Multiplayer Level Designer, Tools Engineer, Gameplay Engineer, Senior Server Database Engineer, Senior Server Engineer, Senior Network and Systems Administrator, Senior Concept Artist and Monetization/Systems Designer.

You know, among other positions of course.

Those interested can always head over the Battlecry’s jobs page to apply. The last position indicates that micro-transactions will indeed play a role in their upcoming titles. With Rich Vogel, who worked on Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies on board, heading the studio it will be interesting to see what shape it takes.

Vogel himself stated, “I have always admired and respected Bethesda’s approach to making great, original games. It’s a belief and passion I share, and I’m looking forward to building a team of high quality developers who want to bring that same commitment and creative energy to the games we’ll be creating.”

President of Bethesda Softworks Vlatko Andonov states, “We are very pleased to have someone with Rich’s vast experience join us at Bethesda. Rich has a history of building and managing talented development teams and bringing high quality games to market, and we look forward to working with him on a new exciting project.”

Battlecry will be working on a new free to play MMO title, which we can only speculate to be related to the Elder Scrolls MMO.
