Indie developer Two Tribes announces RIVE, a "metal wrecking, robot hacking" 2D shooter/platformer coming to Windows and consoles which is the first project for the studio since restructuring as a three-person team. They plan on revealing more next month at Gamescom, and in the meantime offer this trailer, these screenshots, and this description:

Announcing a new game is always a major event, but since it's the first game since the Two Tribes reboot, this one is extra special for us. We've been working feverishly with our new base team of just three people to be able to announce RIVE to the world.

So what did we make!? We call it RIVE and we describe it as 'the metal wrecking, robot hacking shooter'. It's a 2D shooter / platformer with old school gaming values in a decidedly new school execution. During the game's intense 360 degree shooting and platforming action, players learn to alter the behavior of their robotic enemies by collecting and uploading hacks.
