Major Nelson has released a new episode in the ongoing This Week on Xbox series, providing a look at the celebrations for the Sims 20th Birthday, the Bleeding Edge Open Beta, as well as new Xbox Game Pass games and more. The first closed beta of Bleeding Edge will start on February 14th, 2020, and the game will be officially launching next month on March 24th, 2020.
About Bleeding Edge
Bleeding Edge is a multiplayer online combat video game under development by British developer Ninja Theory and will be published by Xbox Game Studios for the Xbox One and PC. The game offers a unique blend of melee and ranged combat, providing players with a diverse set of characters to choose from. “There are 12 characters to choose from, all of which have melee attacks, with some of them having range attacks also. All characters are one of three classes: assassin, support, or tank. There are three bars for different abilities which go down when the player uses an ability connected to it. Each ability has its own cool down period as well.”
The game’s characters are designed to cater to different playstyles. For instance, assassins are nimble and deal high damage but are fragile, while tanks can absorb a lot of damage and protect their teammates. Support characters, on the other hand, provide healing and buffs to their allies, making them indispensable in team fights. This variety ensures that players can find a character that suits their preferred way of playing.
