Fuse is an upcoming, four-player cooperative action video game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Electronic Arts for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in March 2013. The game was announced as Overstrike before it was rebranded in August 2012.
The game is set in the near future and follows a team of four misfit agents collectively known as Overstrike 9, who infiltrate enemy strongholds using fringe-tech gadgets and lethal teamwork. The members of Overstrike 9 are Dalton Brooks, a reformed and sarcastic mercenary, equipped with an energy shield, Naya Deveraux, a mischievous, lifelong thief, equipped with a cloak device, Isabelle Sinclair, a gifted, but rebellious young scientist, equipped with a mass bubble gun, and Jacob Kimble, a decorated detective with a bit of a temper, equipped with an electric crossbow. The plot follows these agents as they attempt to stop a shadowy organization, which threatens to wipe out humankind. Due to each agent’s unique talents and a tendency to completely ignore protocol, Overstrike 9 is the only option left.
The Premise:
When a volatile alien energy source called Fuse falls into the wrong hands, the CIA calls in an elite contact team to retrieve it: Overstrike 9. Join up to three friends in co-op play as you deploy lethal teamwork and Fuse-powered weapons to take down the rogue paramilitary corporation behind the theft.
Lethal Teamwork:
“LEAP” between agents during battle and combine their weapons and abilities for devastating results.
Secret Alien Tech:
Whoever controls Fuse will have unlimited power at their disposal.
Experimental Weapons:
Combine the agents’ Fuse-powered weapons to trigger Fusion for greatly increased damage.
Class-based Agents:
Develop agents along deep upgrade paths and discover all the possibilities for lethal teamwork.
UPDATE: Release date.
Anxious to get your hands on Fuse, the four-player cooperative third-person shooter? Well, we now have a release date. Fuse arrives May 28th in North America and May 31st in Europe. Fuse, of course, is from developer Insomniac Games and marks the first one of its titles to ever appear on the Xbox 360. Originally called Overstrike, Fuse puts you and your friends in control of four mercs and unleashes you on a whirlwind adventure.

The game seems to be a mix between Borderlands and Binary Domain.

Personally, I think they went sci-fi to use some special effects like Dalton's shield and all the robots. But yeah, I loved the original concept when they announced it.

Considering we have the other side of the industry complaining about MP being shoehorned into games where it does not belong, often to the detriment of the single player story, this is a pretty bad thing and a legitimate thing to complain about.
It does explain why all the Ratchet and Clank games are MP now.

Gaf has started complaining. But think of this as a marriage between Borderlands and Syndicate's MP mode.
Dibs on Naya.

I liked Syndicate's MP but I dislike horde modes. Stuff like R6's Terrorist Hunt is fun.

MY GOODNESS THIS IS DANGEROUSLY PROGRESSIVE
Still, someone is gonna complain about Dalton being a white dude with dark hair and an American accent. Or Izzy and Naya being fat-free and/or eye-candy.

I neither hate nor love the art, I'm just not buying it for that.

Dalton still retains his humor. I liked the old voice a little more.

It looks a lot more like Syndicate's MP but I can see non-controlled characters being a hassle.
