In an update about the game on the PlayStation blog, Lucid Games said the arenas have been “designed to harness mobility and destructive action.” Vehicles will have the freedom and room to speed around and cause mayhem, while on-foot characters can “seek temporary safety in suspended platforms above” and use their parkour skills to “jump, climb, grab and vault, they can collect items and lure opponents into hard hitting traps.”Ĭlearly, Destruction AllStars is going to be a multiplayer game first and foremost. Apparently, the game’s arenas have been designed with both, car combat and on-foot gameplay on mind. That is something the the developers of Destruction AllStars have specifically spoken about as well. We’ve spoken about the combat, we’ve spoken about the abilities, we’ve spoken about the characters- but just as important in a multiplayer game, if not more so, is the maps and how they’re designed. Background and story details on these characters haven’t been revealed yet, but the developers have said that many characters will have “cinematic rivalries” that will explore the motivations of these AllStars. It seems like Destruction AllStars will be leaning heavily into its heroes, not only for gameplay purposes, but also for storytelling and cinematic purposes. Lucid Games and Sony have given an interesting taste of what they’re going to be like, but here’s hoping more details on them arrive soon. And how many of these characters exactly are there going to be in the game? At launch, Destruction AllStars will have a roster of 16 playable characters. So, it’s become clearer that Destruction AllStars isn’t just a car combat game- it’s also throwing some rather interesting hero multiplayer elements in there, which could potentially make for a nice concoction. Then there’s Boxtop, who can spawn a parcel that will not only provide your teammates with buffs, but also deal explosive damage to your enemies. There’s Shyft, who can temporarily go invisible, and perhaps even leverage that to steal an enemy’s vehicle. There’s Lupita, who can spew a trail of fire to deal damage to her foes. Ultimo Barricado, true to his name, can become invulnerable to all incoming enemy attacks. Using character abilities and vehicle abilities in conjunction is likely going to be crucial to success in Destruction AllStars.Īs with hero vehicles, details on some hero abilities have also been revealed. It won’t just be the vehicles and their abilities that will turn the tide of battle in Destruction AllStars. As we’ve mentioned, characters seem to play just as much of a role in the game as their vehicles, and each character having their own movement options and unique abilities to help them behind the wheel, as well as when they’re on foot. Then there’s Hana’s Sabre, which can slice opponents in half with a large blade. Genesis’ Callisto can use boosters, which can not only help with speed, but allow you to slam enemies much harder. Sparkles, can enter Rampage mode, allowing you to hit harder with your attacks. For instance, The Undisputed (which belongs to the character Ultimo Barricado) can activate a large shield. Some of the examples Sony have revealed for the aforementioned signature hero vehicles give an interesting idea of what we can expect from them. As each match begins, several basic vehicles will be scattered throughout the map, though though it’s worth noting that each character in the roster will also have their own signature vehicle with special abilities. So what exactly can we expect from the vehicles we’ll be driving in Destruction AllStars? Well, there’s nearly 30 unique vehicles in the game. Interestingly enough, the action will continue if your car gets destroyed or you find yourself without a vehicle, and you’ll find yourself on foot as you look for a new vehicle. So as we approach its imminent launch, in this feature, we’re going to go over some of the most crucial details you should know about Destruction AllStars.Ĭar combat is going to be the name of the game in Destruction AllStars. Each match will see heroes in unique cars taking each other down through rams and well-timed slams or the usage of weapons. Lucid Games and Sony’s upcoming Destruction All-Stars might not be the biggest first party launch title for the PS5 this Holiday, what with the likes of Demon’s Souls and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales releasing right alongside it, but there’s no shortage of people who’re excited to see how it will turn out. This feature was written prior to this announcement.Ĭar combat and arcade, action-oriented racers have become a rare breed, so any time new game in the genre looks good enough to catch your attention, it’s hard not to take notice. It will also be free to all PlayStation Plus subscribers for the first two months after launch. NOTE: It was recently confirmed that Destruction AllStars has been delayed, and will now launch in February 2021.
