You can check out the trailer below:

The cinematic shows off two of the game’s factions: The human resistance, and the Infernal Host. The former is comprised of technologically advanced archaeologists, while the latter’s demonic look gives off big Diablo vibes — perhaps fittingly. The cinematic shows the two battling over an artefact, with a mech suit facing off against a huge demon.
