Histera Shows Off Time Traveling Warfare In New Release Trailer [EXCLUSIVE]

has received an exclusive first look at a new trailer for upcoming arena shooter that reveals its release date. The new FPS from developer StickyLock will take players through different eras as they battle it out in teams of eight.

Players will be able to mix and match these choices to create a unique arsenal that fits their play style.

Alongside these special weapons, players will also have a myriad of pick-ups at their disposal to help turn the tides of a match. Some are fairly typical for the genre, like increased damage or health regeneration, but others, like the ability to convert damage dealt into health and
