Developer Harmonix, well known for the Rock Band and Dance Central games have announced a free-to-play, music-driven, first-person, multiplayer shooter for PC called Chroma.
Harmonix alongside Hidden Path Entertainment (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Defense Grid: The Awakening) is making Chroma as a complete reimaging of the classic Arena FPS formula, infusing modern fast-paced shooting gameplay with a music-driven twist.
“Chroma has been a dream project of mine for some time,” said Harmonix co-founder and CEO Alex Rigopulos. “Watching the teams at Harmonix and Hidden Path begin to bring this vision to life has been tremendously exciting. We’re also thrilled to release an alpha version of this game and to evolve it in collaboration with our players. We can’t wait to hear what people think of this new approach to both first-person shooters and music games.”
“Truly new experiences in video games are very rare,” says Mark Terrano, Chief Creative Officer/Founder of Hidden Path Entertainment. “At Hidden Path Entertainment we were delighted to help Harmonix realize their dream of a musical shooter, and are looking forward to the next step – seeing it continue to evolve with the energy, input and creativity from the game community!”
