4:Loop reveals new gameplay trailer

4: Loops State of Play gameplay trailer, and its accompanying PlayStation Blog post written by Mike Booth, walk fans through the game's central gameplay loop. This loop begins with players joining together and choosing a mission from the “Probability Map”, which is essentially a board of linked icons, each representing a specific mission type that comes with its own unique rewards and risks. This is a common feature found in roguelikes such as Kill the Sprout and Encryptionencourages players to look ahead and plan their route carefully to maximize the number of resources and upgrades they can get before encountering a boss.

With a chosen mission, the team is instantly teleported to their location and tasked with completing the specific objectives. According to Booth's blog post, these goals can include hacking alien technology, collecting critical resources, and rescuing survivors that give the team powerful upgrades. Regardless of the mission type, waves of alien Killbot squads will be sent to try and eliminate the players. If a player dies in battle, they will be “re-pushed” and thrown back into battle, albeit with a new broken leg that can only be healed during a rest stop. If all players fall, the run ends, although only one team member needs to make it to the end of a mission to keep the run going for everyone.

Completing a mission takes players back to 4: Loops Homebase, where they can buy new gear and weapons, evolve their loadout, and equip new items. Players may also come across a shop during the run, which will offer similar rewards in exchange 4: Loops currency, 'Cache.' After a handful of missions, the probability map portion will end, and players will be thrown into a boss battle. According to Booth, there are currently three unique bosses 4: Loopeach requires distinct tactics to eliminate. The only boss shown 4: Loop's State of Play trailer was a large Rubik's Cube-like enemy that changed its weak points erratically.

Towards the end of Mike Booth's PlayStation Blog post, he mentions 4: Loops post-launch plans, saying the following:

“Once you buy the game, we'll update it based on what players like. Our goal is for you to have a good time, invite your friends, and we'll build a thriving community together.”
