It takes a lot for an online shooter to stand out these days. Just ask Concord. But FragPunk’s Shard Card system looks to be the twist needed to ensure it stands out above the rest.
The game was revealed back at the Xbox Games Showcase in June, but is set for release next year across Xbox Series X/S and PC. In fact, it had a Steam alpha test in June and a further beta is due in October to give more players a chance to check it out.
If anything, FragPunk has the most in common with Valorant. Like Riot’s shooter, it’s a five-versus-five free-to-play shooter in which teams take turns attacking and defending – the aim is to either plant a bomb in the enemy’s base, or prevent them from doing so.
