The developer behind the Just Cause franchise has announced development of Generation Zero, a brand new open-world cooperative shooter set in Sweden.

Generation Zero takes place during the midst of a robot uprising during the 1980s, or rather, an alternate 80s. 

Described as a game of 'cat and mouse,' players must team up to tackle the mechanical monstrosities across the once-picturesque Swedish countryside. While you can go it alone if you want, Generation Zero sounds best when you're fighting back with up to three mates at your side.

From the sound of things you won't get very far just going out all guns blazing. Avalanche says guerrilla tactics are your best friend in waging war against the machines, allowing you to 'lure, cripple, or destroy' enemies in action-packed sandbox skirmishes. 

Generation Zero is due out on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One in 2019 and will be self-published by Avalanche.
