Father.IO a futuristic FPS that will turn the world into an epic battle

father.io is an fps (first person shoot) in augmented reality (AR), multiplayer, where fantasy meets the real world via your smartphone! You can gather with your friends or with complete strangers for a real battle.

In this game developed by Proxy42, a virtual reality gaming and hardware company, you will be able to participate in missions based on your geolocation, conquer territories and gather resources. There will be two factions vying for real-world territories.

According to Forbes magazine, the plot mixes dystopian elements found in sci-fi movies. A mix of The Hunger Games and The Matrix.

Action is set in 2040 and players are divided into two teams: the humans and the Evolved, humans who chose to biologically interface the brain with Ethereus, the Artificial Intelligence that rules the planet. Thanks to Ethereus, all territorial, religious, ideological and racial conflicts finally belong to the past.

But something goes wrong: FatherIO – a mysterious digital virus of unknown origin – infects Ethereus’ behavioral algorithms in order to extinguish all humans who have not yet become “Evolved” – Forbes

It will also be possible to record your epic battles in real time in 720HD resolution and share on social networks.

Aiming at creating a real battlefield, Proxy42 launched the 363R Trigger which, when coupled to the cell phone, creates a more favorable environment for shooting. The idea is that with this device you can shoot up to 50 meters away from your target.

Check out the trailer for this game that promises to turn the streets of your city into an epic battle!
