Far Cry meets Fallout in new open-world RPG you can play with friends

A brand new co-op FPS looks like a cheeky blend between Far Cry and Fallout, with a bit of Lethal Company thrown in for extra measure.

Phantom Line is an upcoming title from first time developers Antistatic Studios, but don’t be put off by their lack of a portfolio.

While Antistatic Studios may have not published a game before Phantom Line, the studio has some heavy hitters in the developer department, as former devs from titles such as BioShock and Cyberpunk 2077 form part of their ranks.

So what do you actually do in Phantom Line? Hunt ghosts, obviously.

“You are the OPERATOR, part of an elite spec-op unit that deals with anomalies - bizarre and inexplicable events hidden from the public,” reads the Steam description.

“Now, you must deal not only with tears in the fabric of space-time and monstrous entities, but also with a serious international conflict. With fire and chaos spreading quickly, you and your friends are on the frontline of humanity as its last defense.”

If you’re extra keen to get your hands on Phantom Line, then I have some great news for you.

If you head over to the Steam page for Phantom Line, you can sign up to Antistatic Studios’ Discord server and claim yourself a key for the game’s playtest free of charge.

The playtest is currently live and will seemingly continue indefinitely (or at least until the devs decide otherwise), but keys seem to be somewhat limited at the moment.

I highly suggest joining and trying to snag one ASAP, because it took me a solid minute to get my hands on mine.

Try and get your friends to do the same too, because this game is at its most fun when you play it with a bunch of mates backing you up. Plus, it’s less scary with your pals around.
