A title exclusive to Xbox One is going to be released in the near future which is why both Microsoft and Insomniac Games, the developer, are involved in promoting Sunset Overdrive. In a bid to raise hype for the title ahead of its release the duo have filmed a Sunset Overdrive live action trailer which has been released online for public consumption today.
It actually took Microsoft’s Xbox division and Insomniac Games a couple of months to put this trailer together. An extensive production crew worked behind the scenes and came up with an array of scripts and storyboards. Considerable time and resources were spent in creating realistic costumes, backdrops and props to replicate the title’s colorful scenery.
The entire aim behind this exercise was to bring the over-the-top elements of Sunset OverDrive’s “Awesomepocalype” to real life. The trailer showcases some of the unconventional weapons included in the game apart from tongue-in-cheek satire and “ferocious mutants.” The story revolves around the soda company employee who is battling humans that have turned into monsters after drinking an energy drink.
Sunset Overdrive will be released for the Xbox One on October 28th in North America and on October 31st across Europe. As previously mentioned this title is exclusive Microsoft’s latest console.
