Over 100 “Dynamic Mutators” will be available for players. The mutators will be given to players at anytime during the match, and handed out quite generously. These mutators change the face of a match, and you just don’t know what will happen. Five categories of mutators will be available: Everyone, Your Team, The Enemy Team, Yourself and WTF. Maybe everyone will be invincible for a short period of time, inverted controls, and more. The mutators can also be used in combination with each other (Illfonic claims that 1.7 million combinations will be possible), and will result in some matches that will be broken, if only for a short period of time. It all follows the fast-pased and chaotic nature of the original game.
Nexuiz launched as a PC and console game 10 years ago, but the downfall of THQ lead to problems for the inspirational title.
Remember Nexuiz, the arena first-person shooter pulled from Steam three years ago after publisher THQ went bust? It's back.
Developer IllFonic has self-published the game on Steam, where it costs £7.99 (it's £3.99 until 22nd March).
Didn't get around to playing it until after the community died. Great to see it back.
The aftershock of THQ's dissolution continues, as servers for the Xbox 360 version of Nexuiz have been shut down. Developer Illfonic announced the news on its Facebook page, noting that the servers were being run by THQ and "cannot be maintained anymore." The PC servers, however, will remain online courtesy of Illfonic itself.
That's a shame, I loved this game but guess I won't be able to complete the achievements now.
