Keystone – A First Person Shooter by the Devs of Warframe

Canadian developer and publisher Digital Extremes may sound familiar since their free-to-play action game Warframe was and still is a successful title.

Since their first attempt was a success, Digital Extremes decided to force their luck once again and announced a new free-to-play first person shooter named as Keystone.

Keystone will be a competitive first-person shooter with a distinct blend of first-person action and deck-building strategies. Since the Closed Alpha is starting later this week, you may want to visit here and sign up for it.

Being free-to-play is good, but from by point of view, looking and feeling like the 1970’s retro-pulp era is better.

Keystone will take players on a journey through a multi-verse that begins on the starting square of an intriguing, mystical board game. Players will wield unique decks of cards throughout the match that offer handy benefits, amazing powers, and fearsome weapons. With timing and resourcefulness, personally customized decks give players the upper hand in battle both individually and when strategically coupled with teammates’ decks.

First-wave players will be notified this week on Thursday, May 25 to download and prepare for the first Closed Alpha session beginning Friday and ending Monday, May 26-29.

Digital Extremes Studio head Sheldon Carter also has something to say about Keystone:

The long-running success of Warframe has enabled us to build up a second internal team to create a wholly different but equally satisfying game concept that we’re really excited about. Keystone originates from our roots in the FPS world and mixing genres like we have done with Warframe. We believe there’s room to expand the confines of what defines a good FPS and hope our community will see the potential and get on board for the ride.

Go ahead and sign up for Keystone Closed Alpha.

Enjoy!
