Been waiting for Midnight Star, the upcoming first-person shooter from Industrial Toys, founded by Bungie co-founder Alex Seropian? Well, good news: it releases worldwide next Thursday, February 5th. The game has been kicking around in soft launch since last summer back in the World Cup times, remember when we all cared about soccer for a few weeks? Well, the game has gotten its testing in, and now it’s ready for the world to see the latest attempt at making a high-profile touch-friendly FPS.
The game boasts an impressive creative pedigree, not just from former Halo creators. Sci-fi author John Scalzi worked on the game’s story. Serj Tankian, known as the lead singer of System of a Down, does the music for the game. If you can’t wait for the worldwide launch version and want to dive into the game’s universe right now, the Midnight Rises interactive graphic novel taking place in the Midnight Star universe is available now. Will this game take off, or will it fail like the last much-hyped attempt at making a touch-friendly FPS, The Drowning (Free)?
