After toiling away for years on high-concept arcade titles like Resogun and Nex Machina, developer Housemarque announced that it was turning over a new leaf. The small team is detailing its next project for the first time this week at the Gamescom convention in Germany. Called Stormdivers, it’s an attempt at an Unreal-powered battle royale game.

Stormdivers is a third-person shooter that Housemarque has been toying with for more than three years. The science fiction setting will pit groups of scavengers against one another, tasking them with leaping into an environment plagued by a deadly cloud of nanobots to retrieve technology for sale on the black market. The studio’s head of publishing, Mikael Haveri, told Polygon that the initial pitch was made by one of their concept artists.
