Heart Electric: Colorful New Team-Based Shooter From Star Wars Battlefront Dev Gets October Playtest
Modoyo is a new game studio out of Stockholm, Sweden, and its first game is Heart Electric, a fast-paced elimination hero shooter that pits 16 players against one another in teams of four, with the added twist of the "Flux" maglev traversal mechanic that adds verticality to the map. Heart Electric is still under development, with Niklas Fegraeus—who served as design director on Star Wars: Battlefront II and lead designer on Battlefield V—at the helm as creative director, but it seems as though a release date might not be too far off. No launch date has been announced, but the game has a Steam Store page, and Modoyo recently opened applications for a play test scheduled for October 24-26.
Modoyo says that Heart Electric is being developed "with player feedback at its core," suggesting that the game will change significantly ahead of its launch based on community feedback after this play test. Currently, it features a colorful, cartoonish art style somewhat reminiscent of that of Paladins or Fortnite. There are four playable heroes currently announced, each with a unique design, and Modoyo has put a lot of emphasis on the importance of tactics, teamwork, and synergy, with mods, perks, mods, and different weapons serving those goals. The minimum system requirements call for a 4th-Gen Intel Core i5, 8 GB of RAM, and at minimum an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, although this is subject to change.Check out the Heart Electric Playtest Trailer below:

But we need to draw a line here. That's what I meant when I said: I've never been a fan of intra-genre stickers. What is a Hero shooter and what is a Hero player gets muddied. The OP though is about another game, so let's not continue. It's easy to get confused by the genres and naming conventions, is all I'm saying. If you want to go further into it - start a thread in the games section.
And even if there are 1 million players. The game has to be good enough to lure those players away. Its hard to lure players away, if they are invested in the game, even if it is just buying/unlocking skins.
