Shroud announces Project Astrid

One of today’s top streamers, players, and former player in FPS gaming, Michael “shroud” Grzesiek, has announced a new survival game, Project Astrid.

As we all know, Shroud is a well-known figure in the esports world and now in the streaming world. However, he has now decided to take a giant step in his career, backing the development of a new game.

Not only the popular Herschel “Dr. Disrespect” Beahm decides to venture into the world of video game development, but now, one of the best streamers out there, Shroud, announces together with Chris “Sacriel” Ball and the developers, Splash Damage, a new survival game called Project Astrid.

According to the press release, Project Astrid is a “AAA game” that will be “open-world survival.” On the other hand, Shroud said, in a very secure way, that their goal is to create the best game ever and to own it.

On the other hand, Splash Damage mentioned that they are proud to have two personalities like Shroud and Sacriel in the development team and are sure that this project will be phenomenal with their experience in video games.

Sacriel, for his part, pointed out that both he and Shroud have thought and dreamed a lot about creating a video game like this, as they know that it is the kind of game that everyone will like.

Lance Winter, creative director at Splash Damage, said:

“We can create an IP from scratch, which is new in survival. I expect this game to be one in a million.”

Project Astrid

Splash Damage, which just released TRANSFORMERS: REACTIVATE, has some time working on Project Astrid. The direct knowledge and direction of Shroud and Sacriel inspire this survival game. However, the name, release date, and content of Project Astrid remain a mystery. The game is currently in pre-production.

If we detail the presentation video, we can realize that priority will be given to the shooting mode in the video game being developed. In addition, Shroud knows that his wide fan base will be in search of it, as throughout his career, he has been immersed in FPS video games.

On the other hand, talking about Splash Damage, we are sure that they have enough experience to achieve what Shroud and Sacriel dream of. Since its founding in 2001, the company has worked closely with powerful franchises such as Doom, Gears of War, and Halo, while demonstrating prowess with multiplayer titles such as Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and Enemy Territory.

As “executive creators” of the development team, Shroud and Sacriel will also be responsible for providing “fresh perspectives on what fans and creators want from their gaming experiences.”
