Lemnis Gate is an FPS but you have time loop powers, and it’s quite the galaxy brain of game from the looks of it. As we mentioned in the original reveal, the multiplayer shooter can be a 1v1 or 2v2 match, and each match has 25-second rounds. The same rounds. With all your past selves and the opponent’s past selves playing out all the previous rounds simultaneously.
So the match will see moments where you set up your future self for an advantage, or course-correcting your past self’s mistakes.
And we thought 5D chess is already ludicrous.
To put it in another perspective, you’re playing a turn-based shooter, where the previous turns’ actions continue to happen on top of each subsequent turn.
You can see how the gameplay of Lemnis Gate and its turn-based time loop twist in action in the new trailer below. It starts with one side destroying an objective, then switches perspective on the next turn on how the other team counters back, and then switch perspective again to the first team and how they countered that attack with another attack, so on and so forth.
There are also seven operatives (characters) you can make use of, each with different abilities and are all unlocked from the start.
The new news is that publisher Frontier Foundry announced that Lemnis Gate is coming to the next-gen consoles, the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and there’s now a release window.
If the idea of “4D battles” (the fourth dimension here being time) intrigues you, there are more platforms to get your hands on it.
Lemnis Gate is set to release sometime this summer (Q3) for the PS4, PS5, PC (Steam), Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
