Hyenas has just been announced over on IGN. What the heck is Hyenas? Well, we're still figuring it out — but the basics are that it's a team-based, zero-gravity first-person shooter, developed by Creative Assembly, and it's coming to both PS5 and PS4.
As you can see in the debut trailer, it's got a stylised, illustrated look and a tongue-in-cheek tone. The context is that the rich have made it to Mars and left most of Earth's populace behind, but they're shipping swathes of pop-culture stuff to their new home — and the Hyenas, a rag-tag group of rebels, aim to put a stop to the party by stealing all that merchandise back.
However, your group won't be the only one looking to stick it to the wealthy Martians. The game pits five teams of three against each other (as well as AI-controlled threats), so you'll need your wits about you if you want to succeed. Precisely how zero-g will affect gameplay is unclear, though it's probably safe to assume you'll be able to move very freely in your pursuit of loot.
This seems tailor made for crossover content — we even see our good pal Sonic for a second — and is almost assuredly free-to-play, though that detail hasn't been confirmed just yet. There's no date on the game, but you can sign up for the alpha test (initially PC only) on the official website.
Weird one! What do you make of Hyenas? Steal from the rich in the comments section below.

The best looking part was the ad for a TV show that played before the video.
How do you know it has an illustrated look? That's not gameplay.
Apex Legends has a similarly animated look in its cutscenes and trailers but the game doesn't look anything like it.
Just what we all needed and wanted...another multiplayer, live-service shooter.
Was this their big announcement? I just can’t imagine this taking off in any significant way.
It saddens me that there are enough people out there willing to play this that they consider it a viable product.
Then again, “join the pack” is clearly what they are relying on their customers wanting to do, quality be damned. A fitting end note to the trailer.
I love those kind of trailers because they let me immediatelly know that I absolutely would not like this game
Pass...sounds like another generic mp game.
Come on Sega you can do better…
@mrtennis1990 No they can't, they're Sega
I think there are some interesting ideas here. I kinda like the Payday-style, steal from the rich concept. It does seem a bit cynical, though — almost like it's designed with Fortnite-style crossovers in mind.
Not a great presentation really, need to see the gameplay.
Servers deserted within three months, PS Plus monthly game within 18, plug pulled in 2026 give or take.
PLEASE NO FREE TO PLAY ! I already don’t really like what i’ve seen & read so far .
single player games get better and they’re NOT FREE , meanwhile my favorite genre - multiplayer , seems like it’s depreciated into bloated free to play scraps . smh .
@Golem25 your comment is poetry ; to keep from crying it made me laugh 🤣 . but it’s a sad state for multiplayer games
@Jackpaza0508 😁Haha beat me to it!
Why would SEGA even bother making something involving one of their many beloved IPs when they can make this masterpiece 🙄🤦♂️
Wow, that's a big yawn of an announcement isn't it?
The next Overwatch or just a wannabe?
Can't pull too much from the trailer but I'll reserve judgement until I at least see some gameplay.
I think I just vomited in my mouth
mannnn... wtf is this... passs SEGA
Give us Alien Isolation 2 man.. wtf is this Fortnite crap
Wtf😴😴😴😴.word up son
If anything this really looks like a 2022 product. I'll end up giving it a try if it's f2p
Thank you Sega for providing an example of why PS5 is my last game system.
I'll reserve judgement until some actual gameplay is seen but yeah, I don't see myself getting this one.
Using the glue gun from Prey to make bridges looks cool...though kinda pointless if it's zero-g...
