    Preview: The Anacrusis Early Access Release

    What to expect from this Early Access release of the latest four-player cooperative shooter.

    Stray Bombay has been hard at work developing what could be the next true successor to Left 4 Dead with their upcoming cooperative PvE title, The Anacrusis.

Hell, one of Stray Bombay's founders, Chet Faliszek, used to...
