Robotoki’s First Game, Human Element, Revealed
Robert Bowling used to be a creative strategist at Infinity Ward, but after leaving he went on to form his own game company, Robotoki. The team’s first project has now been revealed.
Human Element, Robotoki’s first game, will focus on surviving a zombie apocalypse. However, before you go thinking this is just another cookie cutter zombie game, take a look at what we know so far. This game will allow you to choose from three different classes, Action, Intelligence, and Stealth. You will also be able to pick from three different identities, Survive Alone, Survive with a Partner, or Survive with a Young Child.
Human Element has been confirmed to be a next-gen title, and thus wont be coming out until 2015, so don’t expect to play it any time soon. For more information, be sure to check out the four page spread on the game that will be in the next Game Informer.
