- Time Takers is the latest battle royale game, and it promises to shake up the genre in a major way.
- Developer Mistil Games has also promised to do everything it can to offer cross-play at release.
- The studio’s CEO says that the final decision will be made by different platform providers.
Following massive battle-royale titles like Fortnite and Warzone, NCSoft’s recently revealed Time Takers promises a unique spin on the genre. This free-to-play third-person shooter puts time front and center, making it a core part of the gameplay and themes themselves.
The team at Tech4Gamers recently delved further into the world of Time Takers with developer Mistil Games to discuss these elements and others in detail. During the interview, the developer also confirmed plans to implement cross-play into the title.
Why it matters: Cross-play is so prevalent in multiplayer games today that fans expect it from the beginning. It can also help combat dwindling player counts by combining players from multiple platforms.
According to Mistil Games CEO YongMin Jo, cross-play is a priority for the team.
Although the CEO could not say whether this feature would be included in the game at release, he did say that the team certainly intends to do everything it can to bring cross-play to the third-person shooter.
YongMin Jo explained that cross-play’s availability would depend on the ongoing discussions with the platform providers. However, the team is doing its best to implement this feature due to global player demand.
Time Takers is currently scheduled to launch in 2026, so there is still a lot of time left. Given the fact that cross-play has become an industry standard today, it seems highly likely that Mistil Games will deliver the feature at release.
During the same interview, the CEO shed light on elements like competitive gameplay, the use of Unreal Engine 5, and more. Needless to say, Time Takers is an ambitious project for the developer and NCsoft.
