Square Enix's mech-based series plans to return as a third-person shooter being developed by Double Helix Games.

Overview

Front Mission Evolved is an upcoming third-person shooter and  that will allow players to control giant mechs known as Wanzers. Front Mission Evolved is an addition to the Front Mission Franchise however this time it is being published by the western company known as Double Helix. This game is scheduled for a world-wide release.
The game will feature a story driven single-player campaign and online multiplayer in an immersive world as stated by the developers. Like previous installments Double Helix stated that customization will continue to play a part in the core gameplay. The customizability is expanded upon by featuring the option to change ammo shot type such as EMP or Corrosive and additionally hands and shoulder parts will now too be open to swapping around.
In Front Mission Evolved there  will also be moments in the game where you will find your character interacting with the world outside of a Wanzer mech, such as on foot base exploration (like Front Mission Online) and new screenshots suggest moments were combat will also take place outside of a Wanzer mech with handheld weapons such as a machinegun or rocket launcher. Whilst in a Wanzer, players will have to watch out for damage done to their various mech's limbs as getting damaged in them has impeding effects, however the player can apply the same tactic of limb attacks to the enemy mechs, this is a standard in the series.
 A notable new feature is "Edge mode" which slows the game down and highlights various enemies whilst increasing your damage done. Similar to bullet-time.
