Editorial: Gaming / Facebook / Twitter / Youtube / Instagram / News / Discord /Telegram

Last June was a very active month for SEGA, as it not only shared the first details of sonic frontiersbut also revealed his plans with HYENAS, an ambitious FPS set in a science fiction future and with elements of popular culture. If the proposal caught your attention, then you should know that its gameplay has just been revealed, albeit prematurely and unofficially.

The announcement of HYENAS caused some controversy because the developer Creative Assembly and its owner, SEGA, decided to reveal the title in any way except with gameplay, so until now we only know that it is an FPS in which 5 teams of 3 players each will have to face each other on a map larger than a regular multiplayer title, but smaller than a Battle Royale, and also have zero-gravity sections.

SEGA leaked the gameplay of HYENAS

Well, SEGA is not yet ready to reveal the gameplay of HYENASbut a player got ahead of him and unofficially revealed for the first time the way it will be played in this multiplayer.

The company opened registration for players who want to try HYENAS in advance through Alpha testing of the project. The first period was held last month, but there would be more in the following months.

The third session took place this week and in it players could experiment with zero gravity. Until then, the tests had occurred without any problem, but the most recent one was leaked.

In case you missed it: collectibles and popular culture merchandise will be in HYENAS a very valuable relic of the past.

A player participated in it who decided to violate SEGA’s confidentiality agreement, which he had to sign in order to participate and which prohibited him from disclosing information about the game, especially recording or sharing the session.

The user in question uploaded the gameplay to YouTube and was identified as Glitch3r, thanks to the fact that the content had a large watermark that also revealed his security code.

This is a serious breach of the agreement that the user established with SEGA, so the company has every right to take action on the matter. The video showed about 1 hour of in-game material, but at the time of writing it was no longer available because was marked as private (via Video Games Chronicle).

SEGA acknowledged leak of HYENAS and promises to reveal gameplay soon

This contract breaking drew a lot of attention because it showed the world what the gameplay of HYENAS, something that SEGA had not officially shown because it still does not feel ready to do it properly. In fact, the company had to acknowledge the leak and reassure fans about the expected revelation.

“Over the past few hours, you may have seen things that you shouldn’t have seen. Prohibited things. Certainly very cool things. We forgive you. We assure you that we are working hard to reveal the gameplay of HYENAS in the best possible way soon. For now, please trust our process,” SEGA commented in a manner similar to how Capcom addressed the leaks of Street Fighter 6 months ago.

Over the last few hours, you might have seen things you shouldn’t have seen. Forbidden things. Admittedly, very cool things. We forgive you for that.
