Watch the reveal trailer for Defect, a multiplayer squad-based cyberpunk shooter developed by emptyvessel. Players will fight in a futuristic, divided city ruled by an enigmatic AI system, all while ruthless gangs and rogue law enforcement vie for supremacy. Developed in Unreal Engine 5, players will choose from a collection of dangerous factions to compete in PvP or co-op modes. Compete to achieve objectives like smuggling guns, assassinating targets, or arresting suspects with unique weaponry and abilities. Defect is coming soon to PC (Steam).

"Cyberpunk" elicits many different responses depending on the generation. For the current, it may be, well, Cyberpunk 2077, perhaps even Edgerunners – of chooms bonding, becoming legends or fading away in the hellscape that is Night City. But the genre offers such a litany of capitalist viewscapes, where megastructures barely rise above the dregs and rogue artificial intelligences are more common than clean air, a dystopian wonderland a la Neuromancer or perhaps something more akin to 2000 AD's Mega-City One.

And even if this nightmarish mix of living space constraints, run-down architecture and hotbeds of crime resembles today's world a little too closely for comfort, it's still enough to inspire wonder, like in emptyvessel's DEFECT.
