With most of the attention at this year's ChinaJoy being focused on Nintendo Switch, it is normal for other titles of Tencent to kind of step back. Still, we were able to spot this fantastic mobile game of Tencent which comes under the name Codename SOC. Originally announced in March, this game is currently being developed by Lightspeed & Quantum Studio using Unreal Engine 4. Check out its trailer below:
Codename SOC
While in the demo version they only highlight the PVE shooting part, the team promised to add more features like base building, scavenging, wildlife survival, and other co-op elements. But from the look of it, this game won't let players create their own characters. Instead, you will have to choose yours from a list of offered ones. Each character will feature its own skills, including hunting, healing, sniping, and more.
More or less inspired by The Walking Dead, Codename SOC takes gamers to a world that has been ruined by a zombie epidemic. There, the unfortunate infected people will gradually turn into hungry creatures who are thirsty for flesh and blood. As a member of the last survivors, gamers will have to do everything to protect their lives and the communities.
Interesting mechanics
In addition to the standard shooting mechanism, players will also have to take care of characters by fulfilling their essential needs such as food, water, health. There are many ways that you can go about this, from hunting, gathering, to looting, and even building their own bases to hide and defend themselves against the flock of zombies.
The game looks like it's still pretty early in its development process, so not a lot of information regarding the launch date is available. Stay tuned for future updates!
