    The studio’s helmed by Looking Glass Studios veterans Warren Spector and Paul Neurath - key figures in shaping the likes of Deus Ex and System Shock 2 - said via a spokesperson that they believe Argos “could have been a huge success in normal times”.

    “From the creative mind of Warren Spector comes a new multiplayer Immersive Simulation, letting players ‘pick a playstyle’ in an evolving alien and oddly familiar world,” read the game’s brief blurb on the studio’s website
