Earlier this year, Just Cause developer Avalanche announced its first self-published game: Generation Zero. Described by the studio as a sci-fi “guerilla action” game, it’s set in an alternate version of 1980s Sweden invaded by giant machines.
When the game’s trailer was announced, however, some found it looked oddly familiar.
On Twitter, YouTube, and Eurogamer’s own comments section, many remarked Generation Zero looks remarkably similar to the work of well-known artist Simon Stålenhag, whose sci-fi role-playing game and book Tales from the Loop is also set in 1980s Sweden with giant robots.
