Debuting a bizarre gameplay trailer during the PC Gaming Show, Rawmen is a new multiplayer action game developed by Animal and published by tinyBuild. The title will be coming to PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, though there's currently no release window.
Rawmen sees players do battle using culinary-related weapons, whether that's colliding into one another while wearing large pots on their heads or using soup to skate around the map like Inklings from Splatoon. The announcement trailer does a great job of conveying the game's outlandish concept, showing off its larger-than-life visual style and several different match types.
These modes include a range of strange ideas, with one seeing players transform into giant doughnuts as they attempt to grab "Golden Bouillon Cubes," and another tasking them with defending a giant bowl of clam chowder against their rivals. According to Rawmen's official website, it will allow up to eight players to get involved, while users will be able to customize their personal avatars to fit the over-the-top action on screen. It also teases a range of weapons that players will have at their disposal, allowing them to obliterate their friends in a host of unconventional ways.
It's not the only game tinyBuild discussed during the PC Gaming Show, with the publisher offering another look at Hello Neighbor 2 later into the showcase.The upcoming horror sequel will see players go head to head with the franchise's terrifying titular villain once again, although this time they'll be able to explore a new town setting filled with dynamic NPCs. The latest trailer for the title offered a brief look at some of the game's other new features, including setting traps to slow the neighbor down.
Rawmenis one of many titles announced during today's various E3 showcases, joining the likes of The Outer Worlds 2, Redfall, Square Enix's Guardians of the Galaxy, Forza Horizon 5, Somerville, and Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. The next two days could potentially see even more titles join that growing list, with several shows from some of gaming's biggest names. Capcom and Take-Two are scheduled to broadcast their shows tomorrow, while Tuesday will close out the convention on a high note, with Nintendo and Bandai Namco taking the stage to talk more about their upcoming projects.
Rawmen is in development for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
