while waiting for GTA VI, this very ambitious open-world by a former Rockstar is to be watched closely

While GTA VI is expected for the end of 2024 (or during 2025), this brand new triple A is likely to generate a real buzz when it is released. A very ambitious project developed by a former Rockstar who is revealed through an intriguing video.

What is’Everywhere ?

A triple A in a triple A, this is the crazy bet attempted by Leslie Benzies, the former president of Rockstar North, a subsidiary of Rockstar Games and producer of the series. Grand Theft Auto. The concept : bring a real Metaverse, and everything it includes, to a video game : social center, content creation, various activities, exchanges, as well as video game adventures that can take many forms (action, adventure, third person shooter, car racing, building levels to share with other players). A game called Everywhereand which is developed by Build a Rocket Boy.

Revolutionary concept or too ambitious bet? Opinions differ, especially since the concept was until then very vague following its presentation at Gamescom 2022. But since then, VideoGamesChronicle et Videogames.com were able to discover the premises in Edinburgh, Scotland, and try to shed light on this major project.

welcome to ready Player One

Everywhere is a game in free to play, a huge platform made up of a social center called Utopia, and which is made up around it of a open world broken down into different themed biomes : volcanoes, mountains, forests, plains. For players, it’s about creating content and stories, for other players. For example, the portals generated to allow access to different types of content are created by gamers. Biomes provide access to this type of content Racing District for racing, Combat District for third-person action, or even puzzles mixing platforms, traps, brain teasers, etc…

But where the game goes further is that it includes a game lobby, a hub that will obviously contain complete gamesand exclusively accessible via Everywhere. Among them there is MindsEyea story-driven adventure complete with the scale and high-flying craftsmanship of a AAA video game.

MindsEye, and“blockbuster AAA”

If we had little information about him, MindsEye is therefore presented as a “blockbuster AAA” mixing driving, shooting phases and Sci-fi elements. an impressive trailer of gameplay was presented, enough to intrigue. This presentation video shows us a futuristic atmosphere, as well as gunfight phases which obviously make think about GTA. Not surprising when we remember that it is Leslie Benzies who is in charge of the project.

For the time being, it is difficult to get an idea of ​​this still nebulous project, although very promising. It will therefore be necessary to get a clearer idea ofEverywhere once the controller is in your hands. The title is still planned for early access on PC by the end of 2023. As for Mindseye, no release date has yet been announced.
