Dr Disrespect's new game studio, Midnight City, has showcased gameplay of their upcoming FPS title, Deadrop. The title has been described by the developers as a vertical extraction shooter and is still in the early stages of development.
Those who are part of the Midnight Society Access Pass are now able to download a short snapshot of Deadrop via the official Midnight Society website. A release date for Deadrop hasn't been set by Midnight Society just yet, but the studio does have plenty of talent behind them.

As detailed on the official Midnight Society website, names such as Darren Bacon (Halo Infinite, Halo 5, Destiny), Jim Gray (Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Star Wars 1313), Alex Fennell (Halo Infinte, The Elder Scrolls: Online), and many other veterans are helming development of Dr Disrespect's new game.
Dr Disrespect himself was also the Community Manager of Sledgehammer Games, as well as a Level Designer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, where he assisted in creating various multiplayer maps for the game. Ever since leaving Sledgehammer Games in 2015, he has been extremely vocal about the lack of initiative and overall quality of first-person shooters.
This led to the creation of Midnight Society, which Dr Disrespect co-founded in December of 2021. The studio's website states that they are a "new kind of AAA game studio and publishing model over a decade in the making", they go on to express that Midnight Society is a "group of ambitious game industry veterans who see a future in which developers no longer create experiences in a vacuum and players share in a game’s success".
As for what the studio is working on, Midnight Society says that Deadrop will be the most community-focused, online PVP multiplayer experience the world has ever seen. Deadrop will be built from the ground up using Unreal Engine 5 and will be made open to their Day Zero community and major content creators from the earliest most iterations via the Founders Access Pass.
The footage showcased in the tweet above (via Okami Games) is promising, but we'll still have a long wait until we know what the final product is going to look like.
