A new game has emerged out of nowhere, and it might just be the next big thing. It's called LEAP, and in this article you can get a basic overview of the game.

Here's the official reveal trailer, to get started:

LEAP Gameplay

LEAP is a first-person shooter (FPS) game developed by Blue Isle Studios, an independent game development company based in Canada, famous for their previous work on games like Slender: The Arrival, Valley, and Citadel: Forged with Fire. LEAP was a "passion project" for the developers, taking three years to create, and is promised to deliver an unforgettable gaming experience.

The game's aesthetic and gameplay have been compared to a mix of two popular FPS games, Halo and Apex Legends .

The setting of LEAP is in a futuristic world where players assume the roles of elite mercenaries, participating in intense multiplayer battles with up to 60 players.

Players have the opportunity to choose their allegiance, either fighting for the United Earth Defense Coalition or the rebel Exo-Terrans.Each faction provides unique weapons, vehicles, and abilities, enabling players to strategize and fight effectively.LEAP also offers various vehicles and mobility tools, such as hoverboards, mechanical moose, grappling hooks, and jetpacks, which can be used to maneuver around the terrain quickly and gain an advantage in combat.

Moreover, LEAP emphasizes player customization and personal rewards. Players can earn rewards and unlock new skins for their exosuits, weapons, and vehicles, adding an individual touch and showing off their style on the battlefield.

LEAP Classes

Every player will have access to one of four distinct exosuits or classes, each with their own set of powerful weapons and abilities inspired by superheroes, which can dramatically alter gameplay.

The classes are designed to encourage different playstyles, and players can unlock a wide range of weapons and abilities through the class leveling system, allowing them to customize their exosuits to their preferred combat style.

LEAP offers players four unique exosuits or classes, each with its own set of strengths and abilities to suit different playstyles.

  • The Pathfinder is a versatile class that can handle most combat situations effectively. They are proficient with a range of weapons and can engage enemies at various ranges.
  • The Titan class is heavily armored, allowing them to withstand significant damage while they use their jetpack to rain fire on enemies from above. Titans come equipped with serious firepower and can devastate enemy forces quickly.
  • The Wraiths, on the other hand, rely on stealth and agility to outmaneuver their opponents. Equipped with long-range weaponry, they can pick off enemies from a distance before vanishing into thin air.
  • The Tech Ops class excels at support, with abilities to repair teammates and deploy automated turrets to defend strategic positions. Tech Ops can also provide healing to allies, making them a valuable addition to any team.

Additionally, players can customize their mercenary with helmet emojis and unique skin options for their exosuits, vehicles, and weapons. This feature allows players to express their individuality and add a touch of style and flair to their gameplay, as they flaunt and taunt their opponents with sass.

And there you have it folks, a very brief overview of LEAP.
