As recently revealed,Meet Your Makeris set to release Jul 24, 2025. Set on a dying Earth, players will each take on the role of a Custodian, servant to the Chimera, a living experiment which is the only thing capable of saving all life left on Earth. Players will be tasked with constructing outposts complete with customizable traps and AI-controlled guards for the express purpose of protecting their own Chimera. Once their own Chimera is sufficiently secured, players can take on the outposts of other players in the pursuit of valuable resources, with this gameplay loop of outpost creation and infiltration being the primary focus of the title. In addition toMeet Your Maker,Behaviour Interactive has another multiplayer title in the works.
Aside from giving players a solid release date for the game, theMeet Your Makertrailer shown atthe 2022 Game Awardsalso showcases three of the title’s main mechanics - its build, raid, and upgrade functions. These three mechanics form the core gameplay experience, players being able to work with friends when building or raiding and improve the lethality of their outpost over time through upgrading key aspects of it. Also touched upon in the trailer are the AI-controlled guards, which players can place in their outposts and pre-record custom paths for in order to corner intruders, and a replay system allowing players to view all raid attempts made on their outpost, both victorious and unsuccessful.
Though the Builder vs. Raider dynamic seen inMeet Your Makerwill not be an entirely new premise to some, the title’s inclusion of interesting features aims to push the boundaries of the genre and make for a new and enjoyable experience. Similarly to the function ofbuilds inDead by Daylight, Behaviour Interactive’s latest game aims to maintain this same level of flexibility and allow players to do things on their terms and at their own pace, seeing how they fare in a competitive setting before changing strategies to account for any weaknesses. For those desperate to try outMeet Your Maker, the beta is currently open for sign-ups.
Meet Your Makerwill release on July 27, 2025 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
