Out of Time Revealed As New Roguelike From Manticore Games, Blends Time Travel, Sci-Fi, and Magic

Out of Time is an upcoming time travel roguelite that puts players into a cosmic anomaly that blends past, present, and future in chaotic co-op battles. The new game is being developed by Manticore Games, a new game studio comprised of talent formerly of Electronic Arts, Blizzard, Respawn, Xfire, Roblox, Trion Worlds, Crystal Dynamics, and Zynga, and it will be launching as an Epic Games Store and console exclusive on September 25, 2025, although it's currently unclear if a future Steam launch is on the cards. The current pre-purchase price for Out of Time is $24.99, which includes three special mounts, three emotes, and four avatars.

The main premise of Out of Time is that players are put in teams of four players in co-op PvE battles—with PvP slated to be arriving in a future update—against enemies from the Medieval era, Modern era, and The Wastelands, a far-flung apocalyptic era set in the year 2199. At least three more eras are already planned for a later release, although there is no exact release roadmap yet. Out of Time emphasizes team work and ability and gear synergies, and one of the main highlights is that sticking together as a team grants buffs and increases survivability. There are a whopping 24 playable heroes, although Manticore Games says that the heroes don't lock you down into specific classes or roles. Instead, the game's mechanics encourage cooperative experimentation and gives players the freedom to adapt to the anomalies in their own unique way. Out of Time will feature tight fast-paced combat, an MMO-like hub, and a roguelike progression system.
