It's a warm, sleepy Wednesday at the time of writing, and SEGA's just dropped a highly energetic new trailer for its upcoming extraction shooter, Hyenas. Just to recap, this is the publisher's sci-fi first-person shooter that has teams of players competing to steal a bunch of merch from big evil corporations. You'll get the gist of it by watching this new video, anyway, which remixes The Blue Danube as Strauss II would've wanted.
Anyway, the trailer shows off some anti-gravity firefights, plenty of foam gun shenanigans, and a race to obtain Sonic the Hedgehog figurines. The action looks pretty frantic and we're sure there'll be a degree of tactical depth in play here, but it's one of those games we need to play to fully understand.
Speaking of which, we did get our hands on an earlier version of Hyenas last year, and came away a little baffled by it. If you have a PC handy, a closed beta is on the horizon via Steam, but there's no release date for the finished game as yet.

I'd like to remind Sega they used to make great arcade racers.
Personally, I'm more interested in hyenas. I feel like I could have some pretty funny converstations with one, they're always laughing
@Smiffy01 What I was thinking lol, I would like to remind Sega of all the great arcade games they made that still haven't been released for home consoles. I honestly couldn't care less about whatever this is, it doesn't appeal to me at all.
Removed - unconstructive
@JayJ I know eh, must be great sitting on a goldmine but cant be assed to do anything with it. Im a bit old school though lol i prefer arcade games, far too many rpg type games nowadays for my liking and not enough time for any of these 100hr "epics"
@Smiffy01 Couldn't agree more. I only have so much time for gaming, and arcade gaming seemed to respect my time the most. This era of 100+ hour epics and online live-service games just isn't appealing to me, I simply don't want to put in the time they demand.

I guess extraction shooters are the new live-service grifts. And this is from Creative Assembly...man, what an absolute waste of time/talent.
It’s the ultimate tragedy this is not about actual hyenas. All I want is some friendly hyenas in a game, and yet, never shall it be.
@Ken_Kaniff I here ya
Between this and Fairgame$, huh? Remember when we used to pay to play FPS games, they had a campaign, and were fun to play?
It's a game. It's multiplayer. For those interested go for it. Myself and others yeah pass.
More interested in other Sega games. Creative Assembly can also make better too.
I'm already good on the 2023 singleplayer games (or retro games I still research Sega or other publishers, racing, platformer, old modern shooters or other genres) I care about and most if not all are on Switch (even the third parties I want) then the PS4 games of 2022 I'm getting around to now.
Isn't sony doing a live service game on this premise also? Won't be putting this on my calendar but happy to check it out if I hear good things
I don't understand why they took what seems to be a decent overall concept (near-future zero gravity space combat) and tied it to such absolute cringe details/design language/theming.
Yes. I want to play a zero-g sci-fi FPS.
No. I absolutely do not want anything to do with a cringe ass Sonic cosplayer as a "character."
I need to remind Sega they need to make a new Virtua Fighter.
