To follow the recent Tron hype train established(?) by Disney’s Tron: Ares announcement a while ago, Disney and Big Fan Games (an offshoot of Devolver Digital) have announced a new game in the sci-fi series.

Called Tron: Catalyst, the game is developed by Bithell Games and is a story-driven isometric action-adventure game set in the Arq Grid introduced in Tron: Identity. The gameplay from the new trailer is looking literally blue, with discs used as attacks and taking the viewpoint of both roguelike Hades and action RPG series Diablo. From the description below, the game is looking like a linear action title in that perspective, which is A-OK with us since it’s been a while since we had a Tron game set in the Grid.

Trailer and features list below:

• Dynamic Combat System: Battle a legion of fearsome enemy programs in melee and ranged combat, both on-foot and while riding a Light Cycle. Master advanced techniques like parrying and Disc kicks to gain the upper hand, while exploring the Arq Grid and collecting Data Shards to upgrade your code base with new abilities.
• Immersive New Story: Dive into an original TRON storyline. Meet the programs of the Arq Grid, uncover their secrets and fight to survive in a chase across the city and outlands. Playing as Exo, a courier working in this grid’s capital city, your life is turned upside down when a mysterious package explodes, granting you powers beyond any program’s normal function. With the Arq Grid’s ruthless ‘peacekeepers’ in hot pursuit, you’ll unlock the mysteries of this grid, and learn what kind of hero it needs you to become.
• Exploit The Glitch: The Arq Grid is losing stability. Glitches roll back the clock, catching the world in a series of system level time loops… and only you can see them. Utilize Exo’s unique ability to uncover secret areas and shortcuts, and influence the factions jostling for control over the Arq Grid.
• Authentic World of TRON: Explore the neon-lit streets of the Arq Grid on foot or Light Cycle, and navigate your way through the intriguing—often dangerous—characters that inhabit this high-stakes world. Travel through a diverse Grid filled with intriguing stories within a budding revolution all set to an immersive soundtrack from composer Dan Le Sac (TRON: Identity). If you’re a fan of Disney’s TRON, get ready to step into the universe you love like never before. If you’re new to this story, prepare for a thrilling adventure.
