Supervive, the first game from new studio Theorycraft, seems just about ready to blow up. The atomic-bright hero shooter MOBA is currently sliding upSteam Next Festcharts and dominating Twitch.
“The team has poured their hearts and souls into making the game as good as it can be forSteam Next Fest,” CEO Joe Tung — who was previously executive vice president of League of Legends at Riot — said in a statement postedto Discord. Theorycraft’s work seems to be paying off. At the time of writing, Supervive is the Next Fest demo with the second most daily active players, right underDelta Force.
That could be why, while Theorycraft held play sessions with streamers like loltyler1 this week, Supervive gatherednearly as manyTwitch viewers as League of Legends — though its viewership has since dropped down to a more organic 18,000.
In any case, Supervive seems to be in a strong position to rival the games its experienced developers used to work on. It does not yet have a release date, but its demo is live for 24 hours a day through the end of Next Fest.
The single-player breakout of Steam Next Fest so far is an open-world crime-fighting game that looks like the exact opposite of GTA.
