The Bethesda Blog announces BATTLECRY, a 32-player online action game that will be an eponymous first release from BattleCry Studios, the Austin-based developer founded by Bethesda and BioWare expatriate Rich Vogel in 2012. They offer this reveal trailer for the game, tout the launch of the official BATTLECRY website, and provide the following early details:

Welcome to the WarZone! BATTLECRY, a 32-player online team action game, is the first project from our Austin-based team, BattleCry Studios.

In the reveal trailer above, get a first look at the world envisioned by Viktor Antonov (Half-Life 2, Dishonored) – where gun powder has been banned following a cataclysmic world war at the dawn of the 20th century. Traditional warfare is now a relic of the past and all conflicts are settled head-on by elite teams of chosen warriors in sanctioned WarZones. Trained and bred for battle they face off for the glory of their nations.
