Like any extraction shooter, players venture into Expeditions, complete quests to level up, and more. Building reputation provides improved weapons and gear alongside cosmetics and other resources. Crafting is confirmed, but you can also sell items within the “player-driven” marketplace.

You can embark solo or with duos and trios on Expeditions, investigating dungeons and battling bosses (and other players). Three maps and over 30 weapons will be available when early access goes live, and the developer promises no forced wipes, with progress persisting.

The current plan for HUNGER is to remain in early access for two years with more weapons, two new locations, six additional characters (known as Living), and eight more infected enemies (known as “Hunger). Stay tuned for more updates in the meantime.

Today, Tardier Studios announced Hunger, a new adventure game for the PlayStation 4, that has been funded, in part, by the Nordic Game Program.

Hunger is a third person 3D adventure game that is being developed by the same guys who brought us the PlayStation Vita installment of LittleBigPlanet. The game follows a nine year old girl named Six, who is kidnapped from her home and taken to work in The Maw – a surreal underwater resort catering to the whims of the powerful elite. The story seems to have strains of Bioshock and The Hunger Games, and it should be interesting to see how the game ultimately turns out.

“This is not only a huge vote of confidence from the Nordic Game Program expert group,” says CEO Ola Holmdahl. “The grant enables us to explore an idea we are deeply passionate about. Hunger holds fantastic potential, and our job now is to harness that promise into a great experience.”
