Steelrising - (Somewhat) New Trailer

We missed the new trailer that was revealed during The Game Awards. Here it is:

loading…

Paris, 1789. The city is in the grip of terror. The Revolution has been suppressed with bloodshed by Louis XVI and his merciless mechanical army. It falls to Aegis, an engineering marvel, to take on the king's ranks of automatons and change the course of history.

As Paris burns and bleeds during the Revolution, you are Aegis, an automaton masterpiece made by Vaucanson, an engineer in the service of the Clockwork King. Make the most of your mechanical prowess to adapt Aegis to your style of play and become a fearsome warrior, a deadly dancer, or a virtuoso of elemental arts.

Engage in ruthless and intense fights against technological marvels that are as complex as they are unforgiving. Your nerves and skills will be tested to their limits at every moment spent battling these relentless enemies and epic bosses.

The City of Light has been plunged into darkness and needs you. Use your energy, flexibility and tools to navigate the streets, rooftops, neighborhoods and castles of Paris and reveal hidden secrets.

Delve into an enthralling alternate history filled with formidable mechanical enemies and potential allies with questionable motives. You are the only one you can count on to untangle the knots of history and ensure the Revolution succeeds!

I'm still a little sad that Spiders hasn't developed in a direction I wanted them to.

While I don't want to play that game, I must (again?) say that the art style is really awesome. I'd absolutely like to play a less actiony game with a human protagonist in this setting.

I wonder how they'll pitch that. Do we control it like we would control a wearable mech for example, or a remote-controlled bot? Or is that thing supposed to have a soul and we have to identify with it?

As for the genre, I'd rather have an RPG too. I'll probably just watch some gameplay for the art, I find it awesome too.

Ehm. Oh and yeah… I've just noticed. It's actually the same exact trailer I'd posted 3 weeks ago.

Must have been one of these days I guess. On the plus side, we didn't miss it last time.

That's a really good question. Will there be something like magic?
