Sci-fi FPS Desync will be at PAX East, so here's a new trailer

Stylish FPS Desync is coming along just fine, if the new trailer embedded above is any indication. The tough, twitch-oriented shooter is due to release at some point this year through Adult Swim Games, but if you're keen to play it sooner, you'll need to get to PAX East later this month.

Well actually, shooting things is pretty much what you do, but the systems powering that shooting are interesting. "In Desync, defeating enemies increases your base speed / dash recovery with attack rush," reads a recent dev diary. "Enemies can be staggered, launched, shunted, overkilled and desynced. Desync isn't just about surviving though, at it's heart it's a score-based shooter."

PAX East takes place April 22-24.
