WASHINGTON D.C. — Fans of asymmetrical multiplayer games as well as autocratic theocracies are clambering to play the Heritage Foundation’s long-awaited and highly controversial asymmetrical multiplayer shooter ‘Project 2025’ which is all but assured to release in November.
“Everybody knew the game was in development hell for a while,” said ‘Dead by Daylight’ streamer Kyle Neeman, “but now it seems like the pieces are finally falling into place. I remember having a blast with the Alpha when it dropped back in January of 2021 but nobody thought it would reach this stage of development!”
“Like other games of the asymmetrical multiplayer shooter genre, ‘Project 2025’ will allow you to play on one of two teams with varying gameplay abilities,” explained lead gameplay designer Dale White. “The MAGA team will be equipped with automatic rifles while the liberal team writes strongly worded press statements denouncing their actions on the news. The liberal team is equipped with exciting abilities such as pointing out hypocrisy, or expounding on the importance of ethical behavior. Meanwhile the MAGA team can fire their weapons without consequences. Victory is obtained when all members of the liberal team are systematically imprisoned or executed.”
Other game developers have suggested that the game’s core mechanics are a bit derivative.
“It’s infuriating to see everyone talk about ‘Project 2025’ like it’s a revolution in the genre when its roots are so obvious,” said a rival game developer who wished to stay anonymous to avoid hurting the feelings of any Project 2025 devs. “There was this little-known asymmetrical shooter from 1923 called ‘Weimar Republic’ that really paved the way for the genre. Similar to ‘Project 2025’, the goal was for one team to use rhetoric and bureaucratic abilities to slow down the other team who would then respond by shooting them as fast as they could. It’s hard to not see the influence in ‘Dead by Daylight’ where one team does basic maintenance work while the killer hacks them all to pieces.”
At press time, gamers all across social media are preparing for the release of the game whether they’re looking forward to it or not.
