Fate Trigger: The Novita gameplay
The Fate Trigger gameplay trailer gave us an early look at the anime battle royale, showcasing how it blends first-person gunplay with character-based abilities. In the brief two-minute video, we got to see how one character used a wallhack ability to highlight enemy players, while another summoned a giant structure that could be used as a vantage point.
There’s even a Splatoon-style ink ability that enables one character to swim under the map, increasing her movement speed and avoiding damage. The TTK also seems very short, with characters being downed in a few bullets – an area that’s great for those who prefer speedier kill times.
Vehicles are also present, with squads using them to outrun the ring and chase down enemy teams. There’s even a dive-to-prone feature, that sees characters hit the ground to avoid damage and to dish it right back.
You can watch the full announcement trailer above.
