Loadout Launching on 31 January

Edge of Reality has announced that its free-to-play multiplayer shooter Loadout will launch January 31, 2014.

Loadout, Edge of Reality's free-to-play "over-the-top" multiplayer shooter will launch at the end of this month and will feature a weapon-crafting system with over 44 billion variations.

"Loadout's weapon-crafting system runs so deep that there are over 44 billion possible creations to assemble, enabling players to transform weapon behavior in extreme ways, thereby defining their own class and play style," reads the developer's official description. "Combining weapon-crafting with acrobatic movement and over-the-top comedic violence, Loadout is packed with personality and style that deliver a fresh and satisfying alternative to the vast array of modern combat shooters."

While that January 31 release date is still a few weeks off, those of you who can't wait to start making silly guns can try the game this very minute via Steam's Early Access program. Keep in mind though, Early Access requires an entrance fee ranging from $10 to $40.

Edge of Reality will compensate players who supported the game via Early Access with in-game currency and exclusive items.
