Marathon, Helldivers 2, Arc Raiders, Mycopunk, and a canceled Titanfall extraction shooter. Is there space for all of that?
As first reported by Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming, the Haven Studios' developed title will have a dedicated game mode that will lean into the extraction shooter boom that's currently ongoing. Titled "Cargo Heist," it's described as an extraction shooter with an objective.
The full mode description, as relayed by Henderson, is as follows:
Break In — Find a vault code to gain access to the safe. Collect cash, upgrade your skillset, and make your play.
Drill — The vault is breached. Be the team to grab the cargo, or set up your strategy to intercept it.
Extract —The Cargo must be brought to the Extraction Site....
