Gravhounds Brings Co-Op Canine Chaos to PC and Xbox This November

Developed by Battlefield and Halo veterans at Octopus Panic, the co-op extraction shooter Gravhounds is heading to Early Access on November 2.

During Gamescom, developer Octopus Panic announced that its debut project, Gravhounds, will enter Early Access on November 2 for PC and Xbox platforms. Founded by industry veterans from prominent studios such as DICE and 343 Industries, the development team has drawn upon its collective experience working on major franchises like Battlefield and Halo to shape the upcoming cooperative title.

Gravhounds is a cooperative survival and extraction game that supports up to four players. In this physics-based shooter, players take control of trigger-happy dogs tasked with surviving on the far reaches of the galaxy while attempting to complete their missions. The core gameplay loop focuses heavily on co-op coordination, where situations are expected to descend into chaos before players attempt to salvage their objective.

According to the developers, the chaotic nature of the experience and its underlying mechanics are heavily influenced by the team's background in high-profile multiplayer games. Ahead of its scheduled Early Access launch on November 2, players can already add Gravhounds to their wishlists on PC and Xbox.
