Bleeding Edge may have been one of the worst kept secrets of E3 2019, but the game has now been officially revealed. Shown off as part of the Xbox press conference, the Bleeding Edge trailer initially leaked ahead of the expo but is now here in a legitimate capacity.

Bleeding Edge marks the first game developed by Ninja Theory since the studio was bought by Microsoft last year. Ninja Theory has made a name of itself through risk-taking games like DmC: Devil May Cry, Heavenly Sword, and Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. Most recently, though, the developer went against the grain by ignoring the traditional publishing model and going it alone to release the brilliant Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

For its next game, Ninja Theory is going down a very different route. Bleeding Edge has been confirmed as a 4 vs. 4 multiplayer combat game, with players choosing a specific character akin to class-based shooters like Overwatch. It looks like it will be chaotic, colorful fun, as showcased in the inaugural trailer below.
