The team at Frostkeep Studios has been playing and making games like World of Warcraft for the past 15 years. And today, they’re coming out of stealth to reveal a new PC online game in the works, the hybrid fantasy survival game called Rend.

The Irvine, Calif.-based team has been working for 10 months on a title that they hope will capture many of the fun moments of fantasy games without making players go through the bad parts. Rend is a fantasy shooter game that is scheduled to launch on Steam Early Access in the spring of 2017.
