Funcom has announced Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, a tactical adventure game developed by The Bearded Ladies and coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (Steam) in 2018.


Here is an overview of the game, via Funcom:​

About

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a tactical adventure game combining the turn-based combat of XCOM with story, exploration, stealth, and strategy. Take control of a team of Mutants navigating a post-human Earth. Created by a team including former Hitman leads and the designer of Payday.
Key Features

​

• 
  
  
  • Tactical Combat: Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is the ultimate fix for your tactical strategy addiction. Dive into a deep, turn-based, tactical combat system inspired by the XCOM games.
  • Explore a Post-Human Earth: Journey through a post-human world of abandoned cities, crumbling highways, and overgrown countryside. Check back at the Ark, a neon-bathed oasis of ill repute and questionable characters, to restock your supplies and plan out your next adventure.
  • Control a Team of Mutants: A duck with an attitude problem and a boar with anger issues; these aren’t your typical heroes. Get to know Dux, Bormin, Selma, and many other characters each with their own unique personality and deranged perspective on the world and their situation.
  • Master the Stealthy Approach: Sneak through shadows to avoid conflict or to catch enemies unaware. Real-time stealth allows you full control of approach: sneak into an enemy camp, position the team of Mutants to your advantage, and gain the element of surprise.
  • Unlock Mutations: Unlock new mutations and abilities for your Mutants, such as Selma’s Stoneskin, Bormin’s Charge, and Dux‘ uncanny ability to sneak into a camp full of enemies unnoticed, despite being a 4-foot tall walking, talking duck with a crossbow.
  • Dynamic Environments: Use the environment to your advantage. Stay out of floodlights, hide from line of sight, or just blast down fully destructible walls and buildings and wreak utter havoc.
  • Loot, Loot Everywhere: From makeshift slingshots to high-powered rifles and top hats to police vests, make sure you equip your Mutants for the dangers ahead. Nothing says post-human quite like a mutated boar in spiked metal armor charging at you with a blunderbuss in his hands.

Mutant Year Zero is proof we need more games that combine stealth and tactics
5 days ago |
The fusion of Hitman-style stealth and XCOM's take on turn-based tactics is better than it has any right to be
Mutant Year Zero will probably forever be known as the game that stars a talking pig and a duck in a top hat. That’s a shame as it’s a great example of a scarce videogame subgenre and it deserves to be recognised for that.

Here we have the rare and brilliant blend of Hitman-style third-person stealth with XCOM’s turn-based squad tactics. It’s a concoction that I’ve come to know as the ambush game and it’s time for it to come out of hiding.

Stealth games usually relish having you stay crouched and quiet for hours on end. These are games that reserve their greatest rewards for those that can ghost through levels – unseen and silent. But this is a genre that’s as much about the art of ambushing as it is about staying hidden. Ambushes are the punctuation, the breath out after the breath in,Read more

MUTANT YEAR ZERO: ROAD TO EDEN - DELUXE EDITION Might Be Coming To Nintendo Switch
According to this updated retail listing, The Bearded Ladies' critically acclaimed turn-based tactical video game Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden will be coming to Nintendo Switch in Deluxe Edition in June...Read more

Filed Under: "Nintendo Switch" Source: GameFly

Although Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden released for PS4, Xbox One, and PC in December, Nintendo Switch owners are still patiently waiting for their turn to play the acclaimed X-COM-esque title.

According to GameFly, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden - Deluxe Edition will be indeed coming to Switch on June 25, 2019. Given that GameFly has been a pretty reliable source in the past, there's a rather big chance that the updated listing is accurate. Mutant is set in a "post-human" world which has been destroyed during the nuclear holocaust, with hybrids fighting for survival in the hostile environment.

There's no denying that Road to Eden was one of the biggest surprises of 2018, as The Bearded Ladies' first major project is currently siting at a perfectly fine 80% score on Metacritic. It looks like turn-based tactical video game's Deluxe Edition will include not only the base game, but also Stalker Trials, a new challenge mode that populates a selection of Mutant's huge maps with different types of enemies.

At the time of writing, Funcom had not revealed any plans to bring Mutant Year Zero to Switch.



A tactical adventure game combining the turn-based combat of XCOM with story, exploration, stealth, and strategy. Take control of a team of Mutants navigating a post-human Earth. Created by a team including former HITMAN leads and the designer of PAYDAY.
