Deadbreed is a new Multiplayer Online Battle Arena project that is currently being created by a Swedish team that includes a veteran of the Just Cause series.

Stefan Ljungqvist, developer at the Stockholm-based company, states, “Talking to friends, I realized I wasn’t the only one wanting this, so we decided to make it. Also, this was our chance to make a darker themed MOBA for hardcore gamers like ourselves and bring in some additional RPG gameplay features.”

The game is designed to appeal to those gamers who appreciated the more pure nature of the MOBA genre when it was first introduced.

Deadbreed does not yet have an official launch window and is only linked to the PC.

It will face tough competition from already established titles like DOTA 2 and League of Legends.

It is also currently aiming to get launched on the Steam digital distribution service via its Greenlight campaign.
