A seven minute footage of a new trailer titled “Briefing” which was shown behind-closed-doors at Gamescom 2019 a couple of days ago, has been leaked online.
The trailer shows the protagonist Sam Porter Bridges meeting Die Hardman (commander of BRIDGES) and Amelie (President of the United Cities of America). They want him to travel to the west and reconnect the Chiral Network terminals scattered across the nation along the way to reconstruct country as part of the new United Cities of America. I guess this explains why Sam is always seen travelling in all the “gameplay” footages we’ve seen till now.
They also want Sam to save Amelie’s real body from the clutches of an evil organization called the Homo Daemons, a militant separatist opposing faction, as the Amelie talking to Sam and Die Hardman is just a hologram of a kind.
Sam, however, refuses their request saying that he’s not a “strand” anymore. For all we know, sadly, “strands” are not in our dictionary yet. But we’ll know everything soon enough, that is after the game launches November 8 exclusive to PS4 (atleast for now).
Watch the trailer here in all its 360p glory:
