A new title, Otherskin, is on the way to us with Otherskin giving us many new ways to play an action combat video game out there
Get ready to set out on a whole new and deadly mission with the reveal of Otherskin. This is a new action-adventure title coming from Game Atelier and FDG Entertainment that is looking to scratch any of those itches you might have for the genre. Also a genre that will have us heading to an alien world and using some alien tech out there in the mix. In fact, the title Otherskin seems to stem from the fact our protagonist will have just that in a new alien suit that gives the ability to morph into other things and gain a few extra abilities with it. Also, it will give us some great weapons to start shooting and slashing the world out there too.
In terms of Otherskin giving us a few other abilities in the mix, it looks as if that will be how we handle some of the traversal and platforming in the game. Many of the abilities, seemingly, coming from various insects and animals from our Earthly world. All to give us some extra high-tech ways of going about things, even if having a frog tongue to use to grab things does feel like it would be one of the things I would not want to have in my arsenal. That is only highlighted in the cinematic reveal for Otherskin, though, and the gameplay we have to follow does lean more into giving us the reasons we can perform some of the amazing feats we can when getting about the game world.

Mission “Exodus” empowers individuals with a unique high-technology AI suit in order to gather as much information as possible, before falling to the Corruption.
