Just Cause developer Avalanche Studios has announced that Generation Zero, its atmospheric open-world sci-fi shooter, will launch on Xbox One, PS4, and PC on March 26th.

Generation Zero, Avalanche’s first self-published title, unfolds in an alternate version of 1980s Sweden, where towering robots are rampaging through the countryside. As is often the case, it’s up to you to thwart their presumably nefarious intentions – but you can also join forces with up to three friends, each with their own unique skills, if you’d like a helping hand as the robo-apocalypse rains down around your ears.

Generation Zero’s rendition of the Swedish countryside is fully open-world, and brought to life with a day/night cycle and “unpredictable” weather. Avalanche also promises “complex AI behavior, simulated ballistics, highly realistic acoustics”, alongside a dynamic ’80s soundtrack.
