Amid all of the upcoming 2K-published titles, it’s fascinating how thirty first Union’s Undertaking ETHOS quietly dropped off. If you happen to discovered it underwhelming and forgettable, you’re apparently not the one one. Two sources chatting with Kotaku revealed that 2K has fired studio head Michael Condrey following the middling reveal.
Nonetheless, a spokesperson for the publishing label instructed the positioning that Condrey has moved to an advisor position. “We’re grateful to Michael Condrey for the dedication, ardour and work ethic it took to construct an unbelievable crew and form the imaginative and prescient of thirty first Union.
“Michael will probably be transitioning his position within the brief time period to give attention to advising on the way forward for Undertaking ETHOS. We stay very dedicated to the ahead path for Undertaking ETHOS and the individuals and tradition of the thirty first Union studio.”
The title has reportedly been in improvement for “a number of years” and confronted “a difficult and rocky improvement cycle” underneath Condrey. It additionally allegedly has (together with thirty first Union’s sister studio in Spain) engaged on it.
Undertaking ETHOS is in improvement for Xbox Sequence X/S, PS5, and PC. It’s a free-to-play shooter with heroes and modes like Trials, a PvEvP skirmish the place gamers receive cores for Augments in future runs. Leveling up in Trials offers new skills for heroes, and you may gather loot to switch their playstyles. The opposite mode is Gauntlet, a round-robin Crew Deathmatch-style event.
There’s at present no launch window for Undertaking ETHOS, although one has to surprise about its long-term future (even with 2K’s dedication). Dwell-service titles haven’t precisely been booming – for each Helldivers 2 and Marvel Rivals, there have been a number of cancelled initiatives from Sony and failures like Harmony.
