Ex-Escape From Tarkov devs say their new shooter "won't be another clone lost in a gray zone," but don't want it labeled as an "'X' killer"

Nomion Games, led by ex-Escape From Tarkov developers Dmitri Ogorodnikov and German Terekhov, says Rush is Real is a fast, tightly structured FPS in prototyping.

The studio says the game will focus on skill-based combat and avoid the randomness often associated with extraction shooters and battle royales.

The developers also want to steer clear of early “X killer” comparisons and other genre labels.

With veteran Tarkov talent behind it, Rush is Real could stand out if it delivers the distinct high-speed tactical formula they’re describing.
