Ruckus Games, a studio founded in 2021 by veterans from Gearbox, Bethesda, and Epic Games, has finally unveiled details about its debut project.

The untitled project, which secured $19 million in funding after investors saw a 20-minute demo, is set in a stylized version of the American heartland. Players take on the roles of ordinary people forced to become heroes when their town comes under attack.

The game promises a large roster of playable characters and wacky weapon combinations, such as a sawblade-shooting toaster and a flamethrower-powerwasher. Players can explore, unlock items, rescue NPCs, and customize their hometowns, which in turn upgrades their weapons and abilities.

Paul Sage emphasized the studio's focus on fun and shared experiences:

"We want games where people have fun from the get-go. Games that are physical, joyous, and just a damn good time to be shared with others. We can't wait to show you what we have in store."

Ruckus Games is currently inviting players to sign up for a playtest on their official website .
