Survived By is an MMO with bullet-hell, bosses, dungeons, looting and crafting

Oh, and permadeath.

Human Head and Digital Extremes have announced Survived By, a free-to-play PC game that looks like a load of other popular games rolled into one.

Human Head, which was making Prey 2 before Bethesda cancelled it, is working with Warframe developer Digital Extremes on the game. Survived By is set in a ruined world where you and other survivors explore, craft and loot. It's described as a roguelite bullet-hell MMO with battles for up to 100 players. Oh, and it's retro-inspired. The trailer is below.
